¿Oye, qué pasó?
Blackout, blackout! (Oh no)
Vino el apagón ¡ay dios! (Oh no)
¿Oye, qué pasó? (Oh no)
Vino el apagón ¡ay dios! (Hold up, wait! Hold up, wait!) (oh no)

Yo! I! Can’t see! (Nina, where’d you go?) 
Quit shovin’ you son-of-a (I can’t ​find you)
It’s an oven and we gotta back out (Nina, take it slow) 
This is a blackout!
Chill, for real or we’re gonna get killed! (I'm behing you)

Calling all ​taxis! (What’s going on? What’s going on?)
Everyone ​relax ​please (Suddenly I find the electricity is gone)
Calling all ​taxis! (What’s going on? What’s going on?)
Everyone ​relax ​please (I gotta guard the store make sure that nothing’s going wrong!)

Somebody better open these goddamn doors! (What’s going on? What’s going on?)
Somebody better open these goddamn doors! (I gotta find Usnavi tell him what is going on)
Somebody better open these goddamn doors! (Nothing is on! Nothing is on!)
And I can’t find Usnavi! (Oh, no!)

Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) 
Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) (Has anyone seen Benny?)
Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) (Benny)
I gotta go (I can’t ​find you) (Usnavi, help me!)
Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) 
Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) (Has anyone seen Benny?)
Vanessa (Nina, where’d you go?) (Benny)
I gotta go (I can’t ​find you) (Usnavi, help me!)

Please find Nina
Find Camila (Find my way home!)
If you see my family bring them home (Usnavi, help me!)

We are powerless
We are powerless (You left me alone!)
We are powerless 
We are powerless

Yo! Yo! They throwin’ bottles in the street!
People lootin’ and shootin’
Sonny, they wanna see a robbery
We gotta keep movin’!
Naw, man, I can’t leave
We gotta guard the store!
They gonna bombard the store
Until you ain’t got a store no more!
I got a baseball bat on a rack in the back
I got a couple of Roman candles
We can distract the vandals!
Hey yo I see some thugs comin’
Man, we gonna get jacked up!
Gimme a light, I’ll be right back
Back up, back up, back up!

Look at the fireworks
The fireworks fly
Light up the night sky
Look at the fireworks
The fireworks fly
Light up the night sky

It’s late and this grate won’t come down, come down!
It’s late and this ​grate won’t ​come down! (Oh god, ​so much ​panic! The crowd was manic)

We are ​powerless (With everybody screaming and shoving and shouting and slapping
We are ​powerless (and everyone’s frantic! What’s happening with you?)
We are ​powerless 
We are ​powerless
​Powerless!

Look at the fireworks
Abuela are you alright?
Light up the night sky
The stars are out tonight!
Look at the fireworks
You’re not alone tonight
Light up the night sky
You’re not alone tonight

Usnavi, please promise me
You’ll guard this with your life
Abuela, I’ve never seen
This much money in my life!

Nina there you are
I’ve gotta go!
I’ll get you out of here tonight
I don’t need anything tonight
I can find my way home (Find your way home)
Without you, without you

Look at the fireworks, the fireworks
Look at the fireworks, look at the fire works
Light up the night sky 
En Washington
Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)
En Washington Heights!
