    Hello, Dear Hivers | Hola, Queridos Hivers

    Today I bring you a cover of the song "Everything I Know" from the Broadway musical 'In The Heights'. This song was deleted from the movie adaptation of the play, but I really like its sentimentalism. It is sang by Nina Rosario (Mandy Gonzalez) after the Abuela dies. Lin-Manuel Miranda did a great job with the lyrics and the melody. I hope you enjoy it!

    Lyrics

    Everything I Know
    [NINA]
    In this album there’s a picture
    Of the ladies at Daniela’s
    You can tell it’s from the eighties
    By the volume of their hair
    There’s Usnavi, just a baby
    ‘Eighty-seven, Halloween
    If it happened on this block, Abuela was there

    Every afternoon I came
    She’d make sure I did my homework
    She could barely write her name
    But even so…
    She would stare at the paper
    And tell me
    “Bueno, let’s review
    Why don’t you tell me
    Everything you know.”

    In this album there’s a picture
    Of Abuela in Havana
    She is holding a rag doll
    Unsmiling, black and white
    I wonder what she’s thinking
    Does she know that she’ll be leaving
    For the city on a cold, dark night?
    And on the day they ran
    Did she dream of endless summer?
    Did her mother have a plan?
    Or did they just go?
    Did somebody sit her down and say
    “Claudia, get ready, to leave
    Behind everything you know”?
    Everything I know
    What do I know?

    In this folder there’s a picture
    From my high school graduation
    With the program, mint condition
    And a star beside my name
    Here’s a picture of my parents
    As I left for California
    She saved everything we gave her
    Every little scrap of paper

    And our lives are in these boxes
    While the woman who held us is gone
    But we go on, we grow, so…
    Hold tight, Abuela, if you’re up there
    I’ll make you proud of everything I know!
    Thank you, for everything I know
