La Calle Es Nuestra
The final out, the whistle blows,
The stadium lights, the crowd that flows
Into the streets, the doors swing wide,
The whole barrio’s on our side.
Speakers up and flags unfurled,
The biggest party in the world,
A stranger grabs your hand to dance
This is what a win demands.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the stadium gate to the neighborhood,
Every hand we take, every shout of “good,”
It ain’t just baseball that we bring
It’s the song that we all sing.
[Chorus]
The street is ours, side by side,
We dance, we shout, we come alive!
From the final out to the fireworks’ glow,
Every neighbor’s in the know
The street is ours, we’re one and all,
Together when the first pitch falls!
A merengue band on a corner plays,
The dominoes click in the summer haze,
A pot of sancocho on a folding table,
A covered plate for whoever’s able.
The flags hang down from the balconies,
The whole town’s dancing in the breeze,
From the stadium gate to the avenue
This is what a win can do.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the stadium gate to the neighborhood,
Every hand we take, every shout of “good,”
It ain’t just baseball that we bring
It’s the song that we all sing.
[Chorus]
The street is ours, side by side,
We dance, we shout, we come alive!
From the final out to the fireworks’ glow,
Every neighbor’s in the know
The street is ours, we’re one and all,
Together when the first pitch falls!
[Bridge]
One win, one street, one endless night,
One crowd that dances in the light,
From the first cheer to the last goodbye,
We celebrate, you and I…
[Chorus]
The street is ours, side by side,
We dance, we shout, we come alive!
From the final out to the fireworks’ glow,
Every neighbor’s in the know
The street is ours, we’re one and all,
Together when the first pitch falls!
