Lyrics

En tu viejo brazo se quedo el ayer,
rescoldo del alma arisca que se fue
el tiempo en tus manos solas,
quedo tendido sobre la luz
sangre reseca la mañana
llorando siglos a la voz del sol
el grito inca estremecio el dolor
silencio descalso por tu cuerpo va las piedras al viento le roban la sal
los grillos duermen la tarde
oro desnudo del cerro atras
cabo una boca de tu noche
el oscuro acero de tu negra piel
para dormirse entre la soledad
llorando el calor del llanto del indio
en su manantial febril mojando el antigal
lluvia que viene de dios
antiguo cansancio y lento su andar
tiene una lanza por el cardón
y en sus espinas dejo las manos
para la sangre con otro dolor
y al rayo loco dio su corazón
el destino de tu nombre fue final
y la luna aquella ya no alumbra mas
a hembras cerro su vientre
y por la frente se desangro
dejo sus huellas hacia al norte
busco camino para alla morir
y como madre lloro tambien su mal
si ronda por adentro el amo cideral
y anda por tus venas, y desde que se fue
y le vanta tus ojos negros
para cubrirte muerto y leal
clavo su pecho en la roca
como una herida, y sin gritar su voz
ella en el cielo hecha una maldicion
llorando el calor del llanto del indio
en su manantial febril mojando el antigal
lluvia que viene de dios
antiguo cansancio y lento su andar
tiene una lanza por el cardón
y en sus espinas dejo las manos
para la sangre con otro dolor
y al rayo loco dio su corazón
(Gracias a Noemi por esta letra)

Lyrics translation

In your old arm he stayed yesterday,
resound of the arisca soul that went
time in your hands alone,
I lay on the light
blood dries up in the morning
weeping for centuries to the voice of the sun
the inca cry shook the pain
silent barefoot for your body the stones go to the wind they steal the Salt
crickets sleep in the afternoon
bare gold from the hill back
out a mouth of your night
the dark steel of your black skin
to fall asleep in solitude
crying the heat of Indian crying
in its feverish spring wetting the antifreeze
rain coming from God
old tiredness and slow his gait
he's got a spear on his Cardoon.
and in his thorns I leave my hands
for blood with other pain
and to the Mad Ray he gave his heart
the fate of your name was final
and the moon that no longer lights
to females I close their bellies
and from the forehead bled out
he leaves his footprints to the North
I'm looking for a way to die
and as a mother I also weep her evil
if you go inside the Cider Master
and he walks through your veins, and since he's gone
and he boasts your black eyes
to cover you dead and loyal
nail his chest to the rock
like a wound, and without shouting his voice
she in heaven made a curse
crying the heat of Indian crying
in its feverish spring wetting the antifreeze
rain coming from God
old tiredness and slow his gait
he's got a spear on his Cardoon.
and in his thorns I leave my hands
for blood with other pain
and to the Mad Ray he gave his heart
