Amor Xicana: de una Mujer a Otra
Mi amor Mi cueva Envuelta en las linas de mis antepasados Mi cuerpo tejido en manta Mi piel colorado en huipil Mi amor Mi cueva De panzita De huesos y piel de mama Mi amor Mi seguridad de dulce De cancion De bailar y volar lejos de llorar o terror Mi cueva De panzita De huesos y piel de mama Me das tu manos Siento los rayos del sol El calor de su cuerpo Escuriendo de mi cara hasta mis peis Me mandas el sueno del mar Entre sus brazos de mañana Sobre mi piel baila milliones de besos Canta pajaritos You have painted on my lips a smile that has stained my skin You touch me and I feel the warmth of the sun pouring down from the sky onto my shoulders adorning the yellow sands of the gulf Your hands cup my face to hold me reach out like wings of a black beaked seagull and I hear the ocean from your hands I stumble upon you sitting against a tree slipping blades of grass between your fingers humming a song only you have ever heard and calling the waves toward you Walk through the open halls between the forest trees Be the sun lighting your path as you walk my love My earth woman Amada Tierra Amada Veinto Amada Cacion Speak to your ancestors Sleep with your ancestors Our arms intertwined Centuries of madres y hermanas Saliendo de su piel Contandome historias de ayer y antier y manana Caminando por la orilla del mar Agua fresca bajo mis pies Calmando el calor de mi corazon Savordiando el dulce del aire salado Caminando Cuidando my cuerpo Siento el agua fria bojo mis pies Calmando el calor de mi corazon Comiendo el aire salado y dulce Pasando el dia caminando, cuidando Con la calma Buscaba nada la calma la calma del mar Caminando por la orilla del mar Siento el sol Did I know Did I know those hands would seep into my skin Did I know those hands would melt the memory from my blood Open the curtain from my eyes Did I know you would build a cave Build a cueva donde vida es sueño Donde vida es aqui y alla Aqui y alla en este momento Sleeping in the curve of the moon Under a ceiling of moons Inside the walls of trees Windows of carmelized piloncillo Lanterns of lightning bugs Pillows of whispered stories Blankets of warm skin Out the window you are there Touching the grass Your magic hands Heal the earth Heal me Yours eyes thinking and staring Concocting a new dream Beautiful woman My beautiful woman Walk with me The streets are dark But you have melted away my fear The glow of your face matches the brightness of the moon You are a home without walls A kiss without getting tired To love you To love you To love you My legs don't bend My hands do not tire My lips always reach To love you I love flowers for the first time To love you Is to learn beauty To learn laughing To love you is to walk with my back straight up Your hands stretch up above you head and I watch you wake up To love you Your indulgent hands Your divinest dreams I yield to you A thousand passionate brush strokes A hundred bites of you And I am still hungry For your taste on my lips I plant a million obsessive seeds in our garden Caminando por la orilla del mundo Siento el sol
