Ofrenda

Among the clouds in the sky
There's a hidden place
It's the valor of my people
It's the valor I've lost
In the town's polka
Jokes that call upon luck
God chooses our destiny
And death to his godson
On the road to the north
An owl spoke to me
He said, 'Boy of the clouds
Where did you leave your love?'
I told him what the elders say
And I won't deny it
Don't ask the saint for a miracle
You have to arm yourself
I left my love at the three crosses
I armed myself with a hat and guitar
I promised on June 24th
To return to the land of my soul
On the day of Saint John the Baptist
I will look for my love
A truck painted in red
A coyote to do me a favor
I pray to the Saint John of my land
I pray for valor
If I fall in the north
May they send my body in his honor
If I fall in the north
May they send my body in his honor
