West Side Story
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack;Rita Moreno Lyrics

Puerto Rico, You lovely island,
Puerto Rico, you beautiful island with your tropical breezes and pineapples growing and coffee blossom blowing.

Puerto Rico, You ugly island,
Puerto Rico, you unpleasant island with your tropical diseases, hurricanes blowing, population growing, money owing, babies crying, and bullets flying.

I like the island Manhattan.
I prefer the city of Manhattan over Puerto Rico.

Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
This is an exclamation of satisfaction or triumph, implying that the artist has made a good point.

Girls sans Rosalia: I like to be in America! O.K. by me in America! Everything free in America For a small fee in America!
I prefer being in America without Rosalia. Being in America is great, everything is free (with some exceptions), but there are still some things that require a small fee.

I like the city of San Juan. I know a boat you can get on. Hundreds of flowers in full bloom. Hundreds of people in each room!
I enjoy the city of San Juan and know a boat you can take to get there. There are many beautiful flowers in full bloom and a lot of people in each room.

Automobile in America. Chromium steel in America. Wirespoke wheel in American, Very big deal in America!
America has cars with chromium steel and wirespoke wheels, which are considered very impressive.

I'll drive a Buick through San Juan If there's a road you can drive on. I'll give my cousins a free ride. How you get all of them inside?
I will drive a Buick through San Juan if there are roads I can drive on. I will give my cousins a free ride, but I am unsure how to fit them all inside.

Immigrants goes to America. Many hellos in America. Nobody knows in American, Puerto Rico's in America!
Immigrants go to America and are welcomed with many hellos. Not many people know that Puerto Rico is a part of America.

I'll bring a T.V. to San Juan. If there's a current to turn on! I'll give them new washing machine. What have they got there to keep clean?
I will bring a TV to San Juan if there is electricity to turn it on. I will also give them a new washing machine but I am unsure what they use to keep clean.

I like the shores of America. Comfort is yours in America. Knobs on doors in American, Wall-to-wall floors in America!
I enjoy the shores of America and its comfortable living. Americans have knobs on doors and wall-to-wall floors, which is a luxury.

When I will go back to San Juan. When you will shut up and get gone! Everyone there will give big cheer! Everyone there will have moved here
I plan to go back to San Juan but only when the person I am speaking to leaves. When I go back, everyone will have moved to America and give a big cheer.
