  • 作词 : Simon, Walcott
    Salvador
    I was born in puerto rico
    We came here when i was a child
    Before i reached the age of sixteen
    I was running with the gang and we were wild
    He keeps looking but he don't recognize me.
    Some guy from lexington or park
    Red beans and rice from kitchen windows
    Supper-time and the barrio is dark.
    No one knows you like i do
    Nobody can know your heart the way i do
    No one can testify to all that you've been through
    But i will.
    Sal & the vampires
    I was born in puerto rico
    And my blood is taino
    Spanish caribbean my soul
    Salvador
    We came here wearing summer clothes in winter
    Hearts of sunshine in the cold
    Your family rented this apartment
    You'd watch the street lamps from your perch
    In the sacramental hour your stepfather in black
    Preached the fire of the pentecostal church
    No one knows you like i do
    Nobody can know your heart the way i do
    No one can testify to all that you've been through
    But this will.
    Sal & the vampires
    I was born in puerto rico
    Came here when i was a child.
    Salvador
    Small change and sunlight, then i left these streets for good.
    My days as short as they were wild.

    And fading headline of the daily news

    Greenhaven
    Salvador
    Twenty years inside, today you're free.
    You cannot even read your story
    The pages piling up in shame
    Before the words released you, the guard would kill the light
    The night you took the capeman for your name.
    Chorus
