     Wake up Angelita, your mama just turned off the light
     Manolo is already waiting by the old water-pipe
     Her shoes in one hand she carefully walks down the stairs
     Holding her breath 'cause there's danger and love in the air.

     Your papa will beat him if he ever finds out
[C]                           [Am]                      [Em]          [C] Em
     Begging the Virgin won't help when you'll hear Manolito shout,
[Am]              [Dm]    [Am]               [Dm]
     He's already standing under the starlit sky
         [Am]                    [Dm]                    [Am]              [Dm]  
     You run to his arms and you laugh and you cry as he holds you tight

     He says he'll be leaving you soon still you beg him to stay
     But he wants to make it somewhere in the U.S.A.
     And though he'll be far he promises he'll write every day
     When time will be right he'll come back and he'll take you away

     Your papa don't like him, he says he's no good
     He steals and he fights and he never bahaves, like a young man should
     Angelita she knows, he's not bad inside
     She takes the medal, she wears on a chain, and presses it into his palm
