And night the breeze was beautiful. Tar beach, that was our meeting place And we had, we had fun galore. When I went home My mother was beautiful Our food was really together Rice and beans, that's our soul food With a little cuchifritos in the side And for a little dessert we had mavi, The grooviest taste and trigger want to try Everything was beautiful to me Margeritto, my beautiful barrio, my ghetto.
