Salvador, the afternoon sunlight is folding around us
Salvador, the afternoon sunlight is folding around us
The dishes are done
The dishes are done
The buildings here, tall as our mountains
The buildings here, tall as our mountains
Sliced through the windows and cut off the sun
Sliced through the windows and cut off the sun
On such days I find I am longing for Puerto Rico
On such days I find I am longing for Puerto Rico
Though I never would return 'til you are free
Though I never would return 'til you are free
But when I hear the Aguinaldo my heart's a little lighter
But when I hear the Aguinaldo my heart's a little lighter
And we danced together Aurea and me
And we danced together Aurea and me
In my life I've been unlucky with two husbands
In my life I've been unlucky with two husbands
Gumersindo liked his rum and women friends
Gumersindo liked his rum and women friends
Then that hypocrite who beat you and preached about repentance
Then that hypocrite who beat you and preached about repentance
Has gone, and so another Sunday ends
Has gone, and so another Sunday ends
And tomorrow is another hard working Monday
And tomorrow is another hard working Monday
I'm still hoping for the raise they promised me
I'm still hoping for the raise they promised me
There's a job as operator
There's a job as operator
I would not have to wait for
I would not have to wait for
If I could speak the language easily
If I could speak the language easily
But I tell Aurea
But I tell Aurea
The barrio's boundaries are our own little nation
The barrio's boundaries are our own little nation
Sometimes I hear you run up stairs
Sometimes I hear you run up stairs
And I view my light with resignation
And I view my light with resignation
Keep your bible near you
Keep your bible near you
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Time is an ocean of endless tears

Aguinaldo — Christmas Bonus / Christmas Carol
Aguinaldo is a fascinating word with a dual meaning that is deeply rooted in Puerto Rican culture. It can refer to a Christmas bonus, but more importantly in this context, it refers to a traditional Puerto Rican Christmas carol or folk song.
In the song, the narrator mentions, "But when I hear the Aguinaldo my heart's a little lighter." This highlights the powerful connection to her homeland and the comfort these traditional songs bring, even when far away. It's a word that evokes a strong sense of cultural identity and nostalgia.
