Conquista

Caravels and cannons
and soldiers and uniforms
and mirrors and colorful beads
and new gods and new religions
Leave us alone leave us alone
Take the gold and return to the sea
And we send a delegation
with gifts and welcomes
and they made us prisoners
the merciful missionaries
Leave us alone leave us alone
Take the gold and return to the sea
And we left the cities
because they treated us like animals
and they marked us on the foreheads
and made us their properties
Leave us alone leave us alone
Take the gold and return to the sea
And the ships ended
And the wars ended
And the conquest ended
and also the chains
And here we are the same
in the same meadows
tailoring our clothes
and speaking our languages
And we are alive
we are still alive
