La Rosa De Los Vientos

Makiza Makiza

The Compass Rose

Sometimes I wish to disappear from the map
Return to where I was born, but it's not that easy
It burdens me, the doubt doesn't go away, it's stuck like glue
The weight on the lap, Makiza is my cape
Sometimes I wish to have wings like a bird
Fly through time, where Lautaro was
And forget, for a while
That half of my family is very far away
There are days when I complain
There are days when I'm fine
There are days when I laugh even at Guatón Loyola
Oh! Comadre Lola, if you only knew
What it's like to be divided, not knowing which is your land
Ana la Chola, in the vibe like a tailless mouse
My mom talked to me about C.H.I
Far away, where I was born
Where I grew up
And I don't play the foreigner if that's what you believe
Never deny where you come from
Have what you have, come from where you come from
Come from Denmark (or Chiloé)
The world is a great Noah's Ark
And if I was born outside, I'm proud
And if I have indigenous blood, even better, because it's beautiful
I'm a globetrotter, without a fixed destination I merge
To the place where I fall down, that's my world!
I'm from the north, the south, the west, the east
A traveler without a stop, without a name, without an ID
An Odysseus without a Promised Land
I've created my own modern Odyssey, baby
I know how to make the path by walking, wanderer
That's why I don't have a representative flag
My name doesn't matter, what I feel is important
Value the person for the quality of their work
And the world is so big and one so small
I only guide myself by the Compass Rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
Of the compass rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
We are children of the Compass Rose

(I come from other latitudes)
As a child, I followed the path of the street
As difficult as it seems to me, I shut up
Wherever I am, I never forget my roots
The countries where I have lived have united their nuances
So that I am characterized by my personality
To be a person of quality, the warmth of truth
Protects me, prepares me to spread my wings
It protects me like a bulletproof vest
My soul penetrates the world I live in, I ask
For a minute to gather what I have lived
The cities where I have resided
The people with whom I have shared
It has been me who has left, traveled
Thousands of kilometers in all directions
I measure the importance of my experiences
In my existence, encounters, coincidences
When they ask me which sector I represent
I reply that in truth, I don't understand
The feeling of being tied to a neighborhood
On the contrary, you have to leave it to not be marginalized
I am a citizen of planet Earth
A human who doesn't believe in borders
Both Squat, Cenzi, and Anita lived abroad
Me too, brothers, not because I want to
But my place is both here and wherever
Four cardinal points, four heads
You will see that nationality is not a big deal
But rather it spins with the winds like the Rose

We are children of the Compass Rose
Of the compass rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
Of the compass rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
We are children of the Compass Rose
