“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

[@Paigeycita]

1. Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the lyrics and commentary :)
2. Edited really well?? Hun I use Google Slides and iMovie I really really beg to differ haha

[@TheUnderscore_]

@Paigeycita This great editing, and with Google Slides and iMovie, that makes it cooler

[@lukeahandsa]

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

[@Paigeycita]

Dang it, now I can’t listen to that part without hearing a little “chug-a-chug-a” in the background! Good catch :)

[@nixhixx]

The maracas and drums in "Inutil" are so epic.... rain and thunder... Subtle, but they totally set the tone.

[@sophiechristopher5542]

THE COMMENTARY IS LITERALLY SO FUNNY AUHAHAHAHA

[@arre314]

No. Just wanna see a fucking lyrics video.

[@elationanimation2293]

[@Paigeycita]

Yessssssss

[@jamilleyomtown]

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

I will call my future daughter Vanessayayaya
THANK YOU

[@pamesy-jatterson7352]

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

[@Paigeycita]

Sorry not sorry ;)

[@emroman1108]

Paigeycita bout what I said I’m just trying to have some fun (I’m sorry I had to)

[@emroman1108]

lmao frl

[@yaz1729]

@@emroman1108 don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose your head

[@projectprdctns]

Hey, your intro song now matches!

[@Paigeycita]

After listening to the intro with that audio filter so many times, listening to the normal one sounds weird to me haha

[@willowwilloughby1194]

Paigeycita Exactly lmao, whenever I hear this, I keep expecting the song to stop after “It won’t be long now” and transition into another song of ITH

[@Paigeycita]

River ruins And the last note always sounds slightly too quiet!

[@thecocoaquill2684]

Love the little Newsies add-in ♡

[@sunnydasheep]

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

[@Paigeycita]

Interesting. I’m a Midwesterner, so I really have no clue about that, haha. Was there an elevated train a decade ago that got taken down?

[@ThatBronxRailfanner]

@@Paigeycita Nope.

[@Paigeycita]

@@ThatBronxRailfanner Huh. Welp, everyone makes mistakes, yeah?

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 >:)

[@brynnc6292]

I love how you had translations it really helps 💗

[@kayleekalvig2448]

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 :)

[@Paigeycita]

I’ll be honest, I did the bare minimum of research for that one (which, looking back, was SUCH a dumb move but whatever). Just put it into wordreference.com, and now I’m giggling with you. :) Thanks for pointing this out! (it lowkey made my day haha)
