YOU SAID:

I was born in a small Puerto Rican town Of no fame, and little renown. House wasn’t capacious, it was small, About nine kids bouncing off the walls. I attribute my spirit to my father, He’s the cause of it, working hard but He never acted servile, he never said, “Yes sir, whatever you say sir, right away.” Sometimes he launched into a tirade, An angry speech against the way Workers cutting down sugarcane Were treated: It wasn’t kind or humane. They’d get hurt, but they didn’t have Access or recourse to the courts. My dad said never forfeit, never give up, And if they swing at you, throw your hands up. It’s alright. It’s alright. It’s alright. Well, I grew up and flew up, up to New York, And I moved up like rulers, up to the top. The ultimate, greatest possible feat: I ran for Congress, and won a seat. Does that seem plausible, believable? I’m a congresswoman, yes it’s really true. I’m liberal, I want things to change, Conservative means you want things to stay the same. I’ve advocated for raising pay, I pleaded cases to increase the wage. Plus I waged war against the guns, ‘Cause guns in the streets make the blood run. I want to inaugurate and begin, A new policy for immigrants. My lesson: Don’t let people stop you, And if you live in New York, I represent for you.

私は、プエルトリコの小さな町で生まれました。家は大容量ではありませんでした、それは小さかったです、およそ9人の子供が壁から跳ね返りました。私の精神は私の父のせいで、彼は一生懸命働いていたからです。
