• Ana : [singing]  Today the sun shines at my window, And my heart grows sad, Looking out over the city, Because you're leaving, Like every other night I awoke, Thinking of you, As my watch marked the passing hours, Because your leaving...

• Ana : Rosa, do babies have hair when they're born?

  Rosa : It depends. You know by the heartburn. With Jacinto I had the most horrible pains. If the mother has heartburn, the baby will have lots of hair.
