Calexico - Puerto letra de (lyrics)
[Calexico - Puerto letra de lyrics]
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 fortelling 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"
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 fortelling 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"
