[Letra de "Intro ADN / DNA" ft. Lin-Manuel Miranda]


[Hablado: Lin-Manuel Miranda]

Residente, the first time we met was in Puerto Rico. Your mother was in the room, she took one look at me and said: "Tú tienes que ser nieto de Wisin Miranda" I said: "That's right. How did you know that?" She said: "¡Pero nene, tienes la misma cara! Mira, tu abuelo Wisin y mi mamá eran primos hermanos. You two are cousins. Primo, tú y yo descendimos de Gilberto Concepción de Gracia, fundador del Partido Independentista de Puerto Rico. Abogado de Pedro Albizu Campos en Nueva York. Nacimos con revolución en las venas. Entre ritmo de bomba y plena. Y estamos conectados en las malas y en las buenas. Now check it


[Verso 1]

A little blood, a sample of saliva

Send it to the lab and get it back and see them try to

Declassify a deoxyribonucleic acid

Just from one fiber

Scientists can separate a strand

Tell you what percentages descendants, you long to understand

Send you to lands of ice, dirt, and sand

A map of the world in the lines of your hand

And you'll find what you planned isn't quite what you get

You will cry in the rubble with children you met

To remind you to struggle and strive

That the trouble with life is that life isn’t done with you yet

And yet, you will make music

Make something new from the rhythms and the fuses

Of chords beyond the images in the news

If you can produce it your dreams are lucid, then you spit


[Puente]

Keep the horizon siempre pa'l frente

Open our eyes, let your rhymes be the puente

Cambia este mundo profundamente

As our global artists in residence
