Chorus 1

If you want to have fun

With charm and elegance

You just have to live

A summer in New York

Verse 1

They lift you off your knees

Your whimsical friends

They take you to the neighborhoods

Or to Bear Mountain

Then, to a boat tour

Or to Ochanbrillo beach

The Mamoncillo party

Or with a drink in a puddle

Chorus 2

If you want to have fun

With charm and elegance

You just have to live

A summer in New York

Verse 2

The Fourth, Independence Day

The Puerto Rican parade

All this seems like a dream

If you enjoy it wisely

Folklore festival you want

There in Central Park

If you don't die beforehand

You'll see the San Juan festival

Justi Barreto told me

That’s where you have the most fun

You're going to the San Juan festival

A summer in New York

To bear mountain

Hey, they take you to party

The whimsical friends

Who never want to stop

A summer in New York

Play, Rubio!

Hey, don't blame me

Blame Justi Barreto

He’s the one keeping this lit

That's the man who knows

A summer in New York

New York, New York, New York

Outro

Hey, there you're going to enjoy

Good with the girls in Manhattan

A summer in New York

Things have gotten tough

But you can have fun

SONG MEANING

Un Verano En Nueva York is a joyful postcard from El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, inviting you to swap routine for rhythm and discover how electric the Big Apple feels when salsa season hits. The lyrics act like a guided tour, whisking you from the Ochanbrillo beach to the buzzing streets of Manhattan, from a boat cruise on the Hudson to the folkloric fiestas in Central Park. Every stop is bursting with dancing, laughter, and Puerto Rican flavor, reminding listeners that even in a city famous for skyscrapers, the real skyline is made of raised hands and spinning hips.

Beneath the party vibe, the song carries a warm message of community pride. Summer in New York becomes a celebration of cultural roots: the Fourth of July, the Desfile Borinqueño (Puerto Rican Day Parade), the fiesta de San Juan, and spontaneous gatherings where friends never let the music end. By painting New York as a playground for Latin joy and resilience, El Gran Combo shows that anywhere Puerto Ricans gather—with cuatros, congas, and a splash of rum—home is only a song away.
