Verse 1
Am                      E
Lupita's 'gonna weave a path to the land up north
Am              E
'Gonna find her way through the thick of it all
Am             E
Looking at the lights dancing in the sky
Am           E
Hoping for a fallen star

Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto

Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness
Dm                   Am                   E
But they landed with only one purpose for conquest
Dm                        Am                 E     E7       
Though there's still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears

Rigo working one, two, three different jobs 
Am                     E
And when he comes back home he welds into the night
Am            E
Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck
Am                E
'Gonna fly up and over the wall
Ref.
Am                  Am/F#
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
Dm                Am                           E    E7
And still you can feel this wave of unsettling anger that never disappears

She's talking on the phone in the heart of town
Am             E
To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world
Am                  E
Saying "please come back to Santo Domingo
Am            E
Why you gotta be so far away"

Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto


Dm                    Am                E
No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction
Dm              Am                       E
Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche
Dm           Am                           E
Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar
Dm                     Am                   E                      
Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning
Dm                Am                   E
Codices lost to a language that's been broken
Dm                   Am                 E    E7
There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears
