Testo Inútil - Carlos Gómez
Testo della canzone Inútil (Carlos Gómez), tratta dall'album In the Heights (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
This isn't happening
Inútil
Useless
Just like my father was before me
Inútil
Useless
And every day, he'd cut the cane
He came home late and prayed for rain
Prayed for rain
And on the days when nothing came
My father's face was lined with shame
He'd sit me down beside him, and he'd say
My father was a farmer
His father was a farmer
And you will be a farmer
But I told him
Papi, I'm sorry, I'm going farther
I'm getting on a plane
And I'm gonna change the world some day
And he slapped my face
He stood there, staring at me
Useless
Today
My daughter's home and I am
Useless
And as a baby, she amazed me with the things she learned each day
She used to stay on the fire escape, while all the other kids would play
And I would stand beside her and I'd say
I'm proud to be your father
'Cause you work so much harder
And you are so much smarter
Than I was at your age
And I always knew
That she would fly away
That she was gonna change the world some day
I will not
Be the reason that my family can't succeed
I will do
What it takes
They'll have everything they need
Or all my work
All my life
Everything I've sacrificed will have been useless
