Lyrics of Mujer frontera - Clara Peya, Alba Florés, Ana Tijoux

Mujer frontera (original)

No tiene manos para curar heridas
No tiene piernas para cruzar la vida
No tiene ojos que le lean el alma
Ni tiene oídos para abrazar palabras
No tiene pechos para quemar el aire
Ni tiene ganas que otro cuerpo le baile
Y lleva atados muñecas y tobillos
Quiere ser ave, pero no encuentra nido
..Y no quiere vivir
..Y no quiere morir
Es mujer frontera es horizontе
Es una autopista que separa sur y norte
Es un trabalеnguas en tu boca
Es dos hemisferios es lugar de maniobra
Es punto y seguido, pero a parte
Es túnel eterno es hielo en pecho y se hace arte
Es punto y aparte pero sigue
Es la cuerda floja que se tensa en el declive
Tiene un vacío que le arruga la frente
Es un espejo del llanto de la gente
Tiene dos muelas herencia de su abuelo
Que por las noches pelean contra el miedo
Y tiene crisis si se moja los dedos
Pero quisiera ahogarse en un desierto
Quiere ser polvo mucho antes que ser nada
Y ser despojo mucho antes que olvidada
…Y no quiere morir
…Y no quiere vivir
Es mujer frontera es horizonte
Es una autopista que separa sur y norte
Es un trabalenguas en tu boca
Es dos hemisferios es lugar de maniobra
No tenia nombre
No tenia edad
Llevaba los años de la libertad
Caía la guerra
Con toda su fuerza
Mientras mi madre cruzaba esta tierra
Antes que el mundo fuera de piedra
Antes que los muros fueran la vergüenza
Antes que el cielo llorara sin tregua
Y el piso gritara por las mil muertas
Hermana amigas y compañera
Atravesando lejana frontera
Pero la vida jamás se destierra
Siempre se lleva donde se quiera
Plantar un mundo
Con miles de frutos
Donde quepamos
Todas o ninguno
Mujer del borde
Mujer del norte del sur
Mujer sin pasaporte
Mujer del borde
Mujer del norte del sur
Mujer sin

(translation)

He has no hands to heal wounds
He has no legs to cross life
He has no eyes to read his soul
Nor does he have ears to embrace words
She has no breasts to burn the air
He doesn't even want another body to dance
And she has her wrists and ankles tied
She wants to be a bird, but she can't find a nest
..and he doesn't want to live
..and he doesn't want to die
She is a border woman, she is a horizon
It is a highway that separates south and north
It's a tongue twister in your mouth
It's two hemispheres it's a place of maneuver
It is point and followed, but apart
It is an eternal tunnel, it is ice in the chest and it becomes art
It's full stop but it goes on
It's the tightrope that tightens on the decline
He has an emptiness that wrinkles his forehead
It is a mirror of the crying of the people
He has two molars inherited from his grandfather
That at night they fight against fear
And she has a crisis if she wets her fingers
But I would like to drown in a desert
He wants to be dust long before being nothing
And be spoil long before forgotten
…and he doesn't want to die
…and he doesn't want to live
She is a border woman, she is a horizon
It is a highway that separates south and north
It's a tongue twister in your mouth
It's two hemispheres it's a place of maneuver
I had no name
I was not old
He had the years of freedom
the war fell
With all his strength
As my mother crossed this land
Before the world was made of stone
Before the walls were shame
Before the sky cried relentlessly
And the floor will scream for the thousand dead
sister friends and companion
Crossing distant border
But life is never banished
It always takes where you want
plant a world
With thousands of fruits
where we fit
all or none
edge woman
north south woman
woman without passport
edge woman
north south woman
woman without
