La Mejicana
Elizabeth Morris
The Mexican Girl
Your love like a snake
Ringing the rattles
A thousand times I shed my skin
Drank the water from my well
Drank the water from my well
Drying my peaceful soul
You gifted me chains
With false kisses you hurt me
In shadow you turned me
Wandering like a lost soul
Wandering like a lost soul
Without time and without horizon
I sought refuge in the hills
Underneath the stars
Gathered the sweetest notes
Heard the song of the mockingbird
Heard the song of the mockingbird
Enchanting the moon
I walk under the rain
Leaving footprints in my wake
To find the embrace
After so much darkness
After so much darkness
I will rise at dusk
