Original text with translation
Lila Downs
Ahí en esa orilla del mundo
No duerme la maquiladora
De un desperdicio en la tierra
El hijo del sol nació
Que embrullo la curandera
Con trapos y yerbas sobo
La piel de ese niño mulato
Que pluma su piel brotó
¡O que maravilla es esta!
Lo que el TLC provocó
De una raya imaginaria
De un chivi chivi colo
Que un niño de ojos de luna
Palabra de flor cantó:
«Este mundo material
Solamente es pasajero»
Flor de maíz
El cielo te esta cuidando
Llano de lumbre
La tierra que te parió
Espíritu de la tierra
Espíritu del mal
Espíritu de la suerte
Que tiene que caminar
There on that edge of the world
The maquiladora does not sleep
Of a waste on earth
The son of the sun was born
that confused the healer
With rags and sobo herbs
The skin of that mulatto boy
That feather his skin from him sprouted
Oh what a wonder this is!
What NAFTA caused
From an imaginary line
From a chivi chivi colo
That a moon-eyed child
Word of flower sang:
"This material world
It's just a passenger"
corn flower
Heaven is watching over you
fire plain
The land that gave birth to you
spirit of the earth
evil spirit
lucky spirit
who has to walk
