Fly, Mariposa, Fly Lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila, Original Broadway Cast of Some Like It Hot

Some Like It Hot (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[OSGOOD, spoken]
There’s an old story my mother used to tell me when I was a child. It’s about a mariposa— which means "butterfly". I’ve always returned to it whenever I’ve found myself confused about who I was. And… who I was meant to be.​
(sung)
On a leaf, a mariposa leaves a huevo—
(spoken)
That means "egg!"
(sung)
Which becomes
A caterpillar by and by
When it’s grown
It hides and waits for Mother Nature’s kiss
Metamorphosis
And when we see her next
It’s time for her to fly
Fly, mariposa, fly
I would never pin such beauty down
You should be free to touch the sky
So, fly, mariposa, fly
(spoken)
That is how I see you, Daphne.​
[DAPHNE, spoken]
As a caterpillar?
[OSGOOD, spoken]
As a butterfly... about to take wing!
[OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE]
Other men
Will see the colors that define you (Define you)
Every day
They try to catch you for a prize (Ahh)
So fly above
The one you love will never need a net
And he won’t forget
That wings like yours
Were meant to fire up the skies (Ahh)
[OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE, ALL]
Fly, mariposa, fly
To our hill in Te-Adoro town
I'll wait for you there ‘til I die
So fly, mariposa, fly (Ahh)
[OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE]
Our romance
Might be the chance
For you to dance and spread your wings
(Dance and spread your wings)
Don’t fear the night
Embrace the light my loving brings (Brings)
Listen as it sings! (Sings!)
La, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la)
[OSGOOD, ENSEMBLE, ALL]
Flowers bloom, there's sweet perfume
That says, “The world is new
So take in the view"
And when you land
A rose in hand waits there for you (Ahh)
Fly, mariposa, fly
I would never pin such beauty down (Don't you know?)
You should be free to touch the sky
So fly, mariposa, fly
Fly, mariposa, fly (Mariposa, fly)
To our hill in Te-Adoro town (Don't you know?)
I'll wait for you there ‘til I die
So fly, mariposa, fly
[OSGOOD]
I’ll wait for you there ‘til I die
So fly, mariposa
[ALL]
Fly
