Mano Negra [English translation]

Offering to Huitzilopochtli*

Great Temple**, bone and drawing.

I'm walking across the city markets.

Black and red are the color of the banners,

because they're crawling from time that goes by.

Into the Earth,

deep inside, lives a black hand,

it comes from Beyond.

Tlacaxipehualiztli***,

the show for the city.

I love you,

Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.

In tha gaze

of the sleeping volcano.

It sleeps with its beloved

Itztaccíhuatl****, sleeps.

It goes across the valley,

and thousands are coming

to this water mirror.

And I'm thinking

about your good hands.

And the Heaven's light

that leads my way.

It takes me far away

from this mundane affairs

to this wandering town.

Horns and bazookas

to dream about,

to dream about,

to dream about,

to dream about.

In tha gaze

of the sleeping volcano.

It sleeps with its beloved

Itztaccíhuatl****, sleeps.

It goes across the valley,

and thousands are coming

to this water mirror.

And I'm thinking

about your good hands.

And the Heaven's light

that leads my way.

It takes me far away

from this mundane affairs

to this wandering town.

Horns and bazookas

to dream about,

to dream about,

to dream about,

to dream about.
