“It Won’t Be Long Now” - Lyrics, Translations, & Dumb Commentary

EDIT: Whoops alright when I talk about Manny Ramirez I meant to say it was in "Benny's Dispatch" not "In the Heights". My bad!

Hopefully the intro didn’t confuse anyone haha (I’m hilarious)

Also wow Vanessa’s voice is amazing

Sorry if there are any mistakes!

Song: "It Won’t Be Long Now" from In the Heights, featuring Karen Olivo, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Robin de Jesus

I’m sad not more people have seen these lyric videos
They are edited really well
AND THEY’RE FUNNY!

In the beginning, when she's talking about the elevated train, there's like maracas, which make it sounds like train. Amazing.

THE COMMENTARY IS LITERALLY SO FUNNY AUHAHAHAHA

I just love the way Usnavi says Vaneeeessaa here -- 1:57

2:48 me: Hi my name is Lin Miranda I know you don’t know who I am-a, but I’m wearing these pants and I’m willing to dance like an idiot if you just give me a chance- (I am lazy so I don’t want to type all of it, but I sang it)

As a Filipino finally listening to the musical. Some spanish words are familiar to me.
Neat stuff.

I can't hear this song without thinking of your intro now smh

[koni]

THANK YOU

2:36 And que one of the best jokes in the play..

[ThatBronxRailfanner]

My reaction would've been:
There's no elevated train in The Heights. Please see Inwood or The Bronx instead

I love how you had translations it really helps 💗

I just did the show playing as Sonny and at about 1:06 guys come in to flirt with Vanessa like in the broadway versions but when Usnavi comes in and begins to chase the guys away, one of the guys started flirting with me instead lmaoo. One time he took my hand and fully led me off stage, fruity as hell and that's how I like it >:)

3:07 That's a reference from Proyecto Uno's "El Tiburon."

[kayleekalvig]

So I adore these videos, but I have to ask, did you purposefully put the wrong translation for coño? Cause I got the giggles readin that :)
