The Night That Tito Played
A Night of Transformation: Tito's Melody Alters Lives
Lyrics
It was a hot night
Describes the atmosphere as hot.
The crowd was hangin' in the neighborhood
The crowd gathered in the neighborhood.
Everybody there was lookin' so cool
Everyone looked stylish or impressive.
Everyone was feelin' so good
Everyone felt great.
Now, mister puente
Refers to Mr. Puente.
They said he'd be here by ten-thirty
Anticipation of Mr. Puente's arrival by 10:30 PM.
Said he was comin' back to his roots again
He's returning to reconnect with old friends.
To finds some old friends
Searching for familiar connections.
