Ofrenda (1999) Lyrics by Lila Downs

La Sandunga

0

Entre las nubes del cielo
Hay un lugar escondido
Es el valor de mi gente
Es el valor que he perdido

En la polaca del pueblo
Chistes que llama a la suerte
Dios nos escoje el destino
Y a suahijadito la muerte

En el camino p'al norte
Un tecolote me hablo
Me dijo: Muchacho de nube
¿Por dónde dejaste tu amor?

Le dije que dicen los viejos
Y yo no lo voy a negar
No pidas al santo un milagro
Tú mismo te tienes que armar

Mi amor lo dejé en las tres cruces
Me armé con sombrero y guitarra
Prometí el 24 de Junio
Volver a la tierra de mi alma

El día de San Juan Bautista
Yo voy a mirar a mi amor
Una troque pintada de roja
Un coyote que me haga un favor

Le rezo al San Juan de mi tierra
Le rezo que tenga valor
Si llego a caer en el norte
Que manden mi cuerpo en su honor
Si llego a caer en el norte
Que manden mi cuerpo en su honor
