Blackout
Corey Hawkins Melissa Barrera Leslie Grace Olga Merediz Gregory Diaz IV Noah Catala Daphne Rubin-Vega Stephanie Beatriz and Dascha Polanco Lyrics


¿Oye, qué pasó?
Blackout, blackout!
Vino el apagón, ¡ay dios!
¿Oye, qué pasó?
Blackout, blackout!
Vino el apagón, ¡ay dios!

We are powerless (oh no)
We are powerless (oh no)
We are powerless (oh no)
We are powerless (oh no)

We are powerless
(Somebody better open these goddamn doors!)
We are powerless
(Somebody better open these goddamn doors!)
We are powerless
(Somebody better open these goddamn doors!)
We are powerless
And I can't find Usnavi
Powerless

Vanessa (Nina where'd you go?)
(Has anyone seen Benny?) Vanessa (Nina where'd you go?)
(Benny) Vanessa (Nina where'd you go?)
(Usnavi) I gotta go (I can't find you!)

It's getting hotter in the street!
Everybody is nervous
Hey yo, we gotta be at Usnavi's
Street-light 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 got' 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!

Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks fly!
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)
Look at the fireworks
Look at the fireworks fly!
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)

We are powerless (oh god, so much panic!)
(Mira, mi amor, hazme un favor)
We are powerless (the crowd is manic, with everybody)
(Despierta la abuela y a lo mejor ella tiene una vela!)
We are powerless (screaming and shoving and shouting and slapping)
(Estuve bailando cuando vino el apagón) (And everyone's frantic!)
We are powerless(What's happening with you?) (aquí hay gente pero, ¡no sé quienes son!)

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

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

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

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

You're not alone tonight
Look at the fireworks (look at the fireworks)
Look at the fireworks (look at the fireworks)
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky), en Washington
Look at the fireworks, look at the fireworks
Light up the night sky (light up the night sky)

The "look at the fireworks fly, light up the night sky" chorus always gives me chills

Kristina Lopez

It instantly reminds me of Disney harmonies - specifically Main Street USA era vibes. We all know Lin loves Disney and this song chorus truly embodies it.

Alphamikee

I was shocked the first time I heard it

Mia Fine

Me too :) Lin just does these magic musical moments

Manuel Orozco

I have loved it since 2010

I really like the way they did the "Abuela, are you alright?" line. Instead of it being Usnavi and Abuela alone in the room after he's gone to check on her by himself, they're in a room full of friends but in the excitement Usnavi still notices that something is up and leans over to quietly ask if she's okay. I just really like that. I like that it's him picking up on something being off with her.

Manuel Orozco

I did not expect it

シJulia I’m sorry to say you’re incorrect. Unless we watched different versions of the movie, the line “Abuela are you alright?” as heard in this song came at the point where they were gathered in her apartment playing Bingo. The scene in her bedroom comes moments after.

@Julia Marshall you are talking about the Broadway version, not the movie.
