Hi guys, here is Remy's truth, one I love Remy so don't flame me, flame my
muse(s). The song Preciosa is by Marc Anthony and I will have the
translation of the words by it and I own nothing else familiar and maybe
unfamiliar. Number two I am a Puerto Rican, so I know I'm stereotyping all
PR as well as Hispanic men. Anyway, good or bad reviews please, I promise
after this it'll get better. Plus, to understand you either had to have
lived in the ghetto projects or watched the movies of 'us' (particularly
the substitute is a good visual) anyway this is meant to be fun, so I hope
no one is offended plus the translation is whacky since translating from
one language to another often makes no sense.
*Flashbacks* that's what the start stuff means

Remy Lebeau ran as fast as he could back to the Acolytes headquarters. He was losing it; memories of his younger years came into play. He remembered when he had just turned seventeen three years ago, he had changed his complete outlook, moved out to New Orleans from Harlem and picked up the accent quickly. In the quiet of his room he put on his favorite song in the c.d. player and reminisced.
Flashback:
Yo se lo que son los encantos (I know what are the enchantments)
de mi borinquen hermosa (Of my Beautiful 'borinquen' {Puerto Rico})
por eso la quiero yo tanto (That's why i love her so much)
por siempre la llamare Preciosa (For always i shall call her precious)
*Jose Miguel Gonzales (aka Remy LeBeau) walked out of his apartment in the projects. A gun shot resounded, he barely turned his head when the cops ran over to the bodega (grocery store), he was accustomed to this.*
yo se de sus hembras triguenas (I know about her tanned females)
se del olor de sus rosas (I know of the smell of her roses)
por eso a mi tierra riquena (That's why to my rich land)
por siempre la llamare Preciosa (i will always call her Precious)
*He noticed when a bootylicious girl with dyed blonde hair walked by him.
"Oye Mami, que pasa?" (Hey Mami, what's happening) Jose said wearing a tank top and a million crosses on his neck, his pants were baggy and up to his knees and he wore some busted up Timbs, on his arm was a tattoo of the Puerto Rican flag with a coqui (small frog that only lives in PR). When the girl paid him no mind and just glared he started to call her bad words, "You ugly anyway!"*
Isla del caribe (Island of the Carribean)
Isla del caribe (Island of the Carribean)
Borinquen (meaning Puerto Rico)
Preciosa te llaman las olas (Precious the waves call you)
del mar que te bana (The ocean that bathes you)
Preciosa por ser un encanto (Precious for being an enchantment)
por ser un Eden (for being an Eden)
Y tienes la noble hidalguia (And you have the noble league) Espana y el fiero canto del indio bravo (Spain and the feiry song of the indian brave)
lo tienes tambien (You have that too)
*That was the hundred time that day Jose got shot down. He went back home after buying a Corona, and sat down in front of his television to watch Sabado Gigante. His mother came in and started to yell at him.
"Oye m'ijo! Llegaron las cartas (Listen my son, did the mail get here?)" Jose rolled his eyes at his mother.
"Yeah, mami but the welfare check didn't come in," his mother nodded and went to the kitchen to make some delicious Spanish meals that will clog your arteries and make your cholesterol soar to the sky.*
[Coro:]
Preciosa te llaman los bardos (Precious the bards call you)
que cantan tu historia (That sing your story)
No importa el tirano te trate (Doesn't matter the tyrant that treats)
con negra maldad (with black evil)
Preciosa seras sin bandera (Precious you can be without a flag)
sin lauros, ni gloria (without {I don't know}, without glory)
Preciosa, Preciosa (Precious, Precious)
*Jose left his home to go to the catholic church down the street, the priest was following him in smelling like cigarillos (cigarretes).
"Hola Jose! (Hi Jose!) How eez de drug rehabeeleetatiyon goin'?" Jose shrugged.
"Okay, I want to confess." He entered the little room.
"Okay jou can go now."
"Okay, I cut someone in the face, I stole a piece of bread from the bodega down the street and I took the Lord's name in vain."
"How many times son?" Jose thought hard.
"I wish not to discuss." He got his penance and left the church.*
te llaman los hijos de la libertad (They call you the son of liberty)
Preciosa te llevo dentro (Precious i hold you inside)
muy dentro di mi corazon (Deep inside my heart)
y mientras mas pasa el tiempo (And the more the time passes)
en ti se vuelca mi amor (In you is my love)
*That day Jose, as he was eating his meal he thought about his life, he couldn't get any girls, he still lived with his mama, and sadly the gun shots outside his window late at night wasn't helping, he decided to change his life. He needed new ways to get girls man.
His mother had married a 'rich' man who lived in the apartment down the hall so Jose found himself free to go places. He remembered his friend from across the street who had moved down south and decided to join him there, and that is how Remy Lebeau came to be.*
porque ahora es que comprendo (Because now is that i understand)
porque ahora es que comprendo (Because now is that i understand)
que aunque pase lo que pase (That whatever happens that happens)
yo sere puertoriqueno (I will be Puerto Rican)
yo sere puertoriqueno (I will be Puerto Rican)
por donde quiera que ande, ooohhh (And anywhere I go)
por que lo llevo en la sangre (Because i take it in my blood)
por herencia de mis padres (as inheritance from my parents)
y con orgullo repito (and with pride i repeat)
yo te quiero Puerto Rico (I love you Puerto Rico)
yo te quiero Puerto Rico (I love you Puerto Rico)
*Jose dyed his dark brown hair auburn and put on demon eye contacts. He had his mutation for long time but he never used it, he bought a deck of cards for material at ninety nine cents and a trench coat from the Salvation Army. Adapting a Cajun accent from New Orleans, he became who he was now!*
y por eso es que me nace hoy (And that's why it's born in me today)
dedicarle este canto (to dedicate this song)
a ese noble jibarito Raphael (To that noble hillbilly Raphael)
y a mi isla del encanto (and to my island of enchantment)
yo te quiero Puerto Rico (I love you Puerto Rico)
yo te quiero Puerto Rico (I love you Puerto Rico)
Present:
Remy heard a noise at the open window in his bedroom; he quickly took the c.d. out of the stereo and chucked it over his shoulder. He watched as Rogue ran away, what she was doing at his window he didn't know. The point was he hoped she didn't hear him singing along to that song, or she would know the truth behind Remy Lebeau!
**************************************************************************** *
Okay that was stupid, anyway I got him out of the way. Next is Rogue, hope you guys don't abandon me. Review please
*Flashbacks* that's what the start stuff means
