In The Night
Carlos Santana ft Chad Kroeger Lyrics

You knew we had to come back like this, right man
We had to come back strong and confidently.

It's too hot in New York man, yeah
New York is too hot, so let's leave for a few days.

It's too hot in New York man, give me
New York is too hot, and I'm looking for a break.

Three nights in Rio De Janeiro with no sounds of buses
I want to spend three nights in Rio de Janeiro without any noise from buses.

No ambulance, no police sirens to interrupt my silence
I want complete silence and peace, with no disturbance from sirens of any kind.

Mucho trabajo, poquito dinero, means I work hard and have no money
I work very hard, but unfortunately, I don't have much money.

Playin' my guitar, I'm sitting on the beach
I'm playing my guitar while comfortably sitting on the beach.

I'm sippin' margaritas as the water splash my feet
I'm drinking margaritas while water splashes onto my feet.

It's too hot in New York I had to get away
New York is too hot, so I needed to take a break.

So here's a ticket, meet me on the beach under the shade
Here's a ticket, let's meet on the beach and relax under the shade.

When I was young they called me Robin Hood
As a child, people referred to me as Robin Hood.

'Cause I stole from the rich and I gave to the poor
I would take from those who had a lot and give to those who had little.

Went back home, mama whooped on my ass
When I returned home, my mom punished me for my actions.

Said I'll be damned if I let you live like that
My mom said that she refused to let me continue behaving that way.

Meanwhile next door neighbors drunk man
Next door, our neighbor is heavily intoxicated.

Beatin' on his wife while the kids were watchin'
He is physically abusing his wife while their children are watching.

Later that day we was out on the porch
Later on, we were sitting on the porch outside.

And fantasize we was out of New York, we woke up in
We wished we were not in New York, and then we woke up in Rio de Janeiro.

I'm in your hood like your neighborhood Spiderman
I am like a superhero in your neighborhood.

I'm in the club 'fore I entered the stadium
I'm already at the club before heading to the stadium.

I bring the vibe like the days of the Tribe
I create a great atmosphere like the days of the Tribe.

Before I had the fame I was servin' the fries
Before becoming famous, I worked as a fry cook.

So who better to know about a nine-to-five
Who else knows more about working a nine-to-five job?

Wakin' up at five with the cold in my eyes
I can remember waking up at five AM, still sleepy and with a cold sensation in my eyes.

Now my daddy, he can rest in peace
Now my father can finally rest in peace.

From the belly of the beast to the sunniest beach, let's go
From a difficult past to a beautiful present, let's enjoy the sunny beach.

Playin' my guitar, used to daydream at the stars
I used to dream about playing my guitar and becoming successful while looking at the stars.

Prayin' if I ever make it, I'm gon' help my family make it
If I ever became successful, I promised myself to also help my family succeed.

From the streets of Brooklyn, to the Jersey talent show
Starting from the streets of Brooklyn, I entered a talent show in Jersey.

I'm a stand on stage and play this guitar till I fall
I will stand on that stage and play my guitar as long as I can, till I fall.

Santana, let me get some help
Santana, can you lend me some assistance?

Eh, this one goes out to those who work for long income
This song is dedicated to those who work long hours for a meager income.

Keep your head up, 'cause if I made it, you can make it too one day
Be hopeful that you can also make it, just like I did.

It's too hot in New York man
New York is just too hot!

Yeah, Carlos Santana with the Preacher's son
This is Carlos Santana collaborating with the Preacher's son.

It's the world tour, too hot
This is the world tour despite the heat.

You know I ain't leavin' without shouting out Miss Celia Cruz
I'm not leaving without giving a shoutout to the amazing Miss Celia Cruz.

Y'all know better than that
You should know that already!

Guantanamera, Celia we'll always love you
We'll always love you, Celia.

Guantanamera, Clef with the Carlos Santana
This is Clef with Carlos Santana performing Guantanamera.

Guantanamera, Celia we'll always miss ya, azucar
We will always miss you, Celia. Sweetness (azucar).
