"Prepare the Luis Muñoz Marín airport; what's coming is not easy. Let the motorcycles be heard from the baldorioty like Tito Trinidad Time. Let the diaspora and guests return home. Dress code like a jibarito, and leave the horses in front. The biggest party in town has taken place. Stop to buy a pound of bread with chopped ham and two cheeses. I'm mad! Benito, you don't want to leave, and I don't want to miss it!!! This has caught fire."
