Puerto |
Lupita’s ‘gonna weave a path to the land up north |
‘Gonna find her way through the thick of it all |
Looking at the lights dancing in the sky |
Hoping for a fallen star… |
«Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto» |
Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness |
But they landed with only one purpose for conquest |
Though there’s still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears |
Rigo working one, two, three different jobs |
And when he comes back home he welds into the night |
Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck |
‘Gonna fly up and over the wall |
If everything stays exactly the same |
Then nothing can move and nothing can change |
«Me siento ese pájaro que danza sobre el puerto» |
Carried ships from the sea up over the mountains |
The warriors fell to their knees by the invisible virus |
And still you can feel this wave of unsettling anger that never disappears |
She’s talking on the phone in the heart of town |
To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world |
Saying «please come back to Santo Domingo |
Why you gotta be so far away» |
If everyone stays exactly the same |
Then no one can move and no one can change |
«Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto» |
No one foretelling the depth and type of destruction |
Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche |
Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar |
Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning |
Codices lost to a language that’s been broken |
There’s this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears |
«Ninguna entrada, queda en el puerto» |
