Coquivacoa

Stop! Cousin the canoe
It seems to me that it cries
The little Chinese girl over there on the shore
It's not a nightmare
Awake you can see
That it's us
Who are killing it, yes

What a mess, cousin
So crystal clear it was
The lake yesterday
It's not a stilt house that's killing
Everything in it

Stop! Cousin the canoe
It seems to me that it cries
The fisherman over there on the shore
If they kill his onion
That life will give him
There are no flowers on the bank
Only dead fish there

What a mess, cousin
So crystal clear it was
The lake yesterday
It's not a stilt house that's killing
Everything in it

The guitar in love with Armando
Crying for his coconut tree
When the lake turned black in the cove
While the sky was still blue

Innocence doesn't kill the town
But it doesn't save it either
What will save it is its conscience
And that's what I bet my soul on
