In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast), Lin-Manuel Miranda and Mandy Gonzalez - Alabanza

She was found and pronounced... at the scene
She was already lying in bed
The paramedics said
That her heart gave out
I mean, that's basically what they said
They said a combination of the stress and the heat
Why she never took her medicine, I'll never understand
I'd like to think she went out in peace
With pieces of bread crumbs in her hand
Abuela Claudia had simple pleasures
She sang the praises of things we ignore
Glass Coke bottles, bread crumbs, a sky full of stars
She cherished these things, she'd say: "Alabanza"
Alabanza means to raise this
Thing to God's face
And to sing, quite literally: "Praise to this"
When she was here, the path was clear
And she was just here, she was just here

Alabanza
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor
Alabanza, alabanza

Alabanza
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor
Alabanza, alabanza

Alabanza
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor

Alabanza, alabanza

Alabanza
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor

Alabanza, alabanza

Alabanza
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor
Alabanza

Alabanza (Paciencia y fe)
Alabanza (Pacienca y fe
Alabanza a doña Claudia, señor (Paciencia y fe)

Alabanza
Alabanza
Alabanza
Alabanza
Alabanza
