Lyrics
[Verse 1]
¿Oye, qué pasó?
Blackout, blackout
Vino el apagón ¡Ay dios!
¿Oye, qué pasó?
Blackout, blackout
Vino el apagón ¡Ay dios!
[Verse 2]
We are powerless, we are powerless
We are powerless, we are powerless
[Verse 3]
(We are powerless, we are powerless) Somebody better open these goddamn doors!
Somebody better open these goddamn doors!
(We are powerless, we are powerless) Somebody better open these goddamn doors!
And I can't find Usnavi (Powerless)
[Verse 4]
Nina, where'd you go? (Vanessa)
Nina, where'd you go? (Vanessa)
Has anyone seen Benny?
Nina, where'd you go? (Vanessa)
I can't find you (Usnavi)
[Verse 5]
It's getting hotter in the street
Everybody is nervous
Ay yo, we gotta be at Usnavi's
Street light's out of service
Because we're powerless, our hour is at hand
It's you and me
You know what we gotta do?
Illuminate the community
When the sparks ignite, we gon' light up the night
Bottle rockets don't go locus, everybody, let's focus
Gather 'round, these are free
Grab your ammo and stack up
Give me a light, till the power comes back up, back up, back up
[Chorus]
Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks fly
Light up the night sky
Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks fly
Light up the night sky
[Verse 6]
We are powerless, we are powerless
Oh god, so much panic, the crowd was manic (Mira, mi amor! Házme un favor!)
(Despiérta la abuela y a lo mejor ella tiene una vela! Estuve bailando cuando vino el apagón) With everybody screaming and shoving and shouting and slapping
We are powerless, we are powerless, powerless
And everyone's frantic, what's happening with you? (Aqui hay gente pero no sé quienes son!)
[Verse 7]
Usnavi
Yeah, Vanessa
You abandoned me
Yo, what are you talking about?
Usnavi, all night, you barely even danced with me
Don't make me laugh, I've been trying all night
You've been shaking your ass for like half of the Heights
Real nice
You barely gave me a chance all evening
What?
Do I get another dance?
I'm leaving
[Verse 8]
Vanessa
I gotta go
Don't walk away from us tonight
I don't need anything tonight
I can find my way home
Keep running away from home
Without you
Without you
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks
Light up the night sky
En Washington
Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks
Light up the night sky
