La Malinche
Oh La Malinche
A woman of two lands
In your hands laid the destiny of two lands
The choice was yours to make
To choose which land it was save
Mind so clouded in deep thoughts
To choose between love and lust
To pick between both sides of a coin
Which side was best to join
Oh La Malinche
A betrayal of her people
Choosing to be on the side of foes
With Cortez by her side she went
Into the unknown she was sent
A tale of love and loss it seems
With many reasons hidden dreams
Oh Malinche
A woman caught between two worlds
Seen as a disgrace to her people she was hurt.
In a tumultuous sea she surfed
Oh La Malinche
A symbol tragic of division you became
A new story told in each new vision that came
The history books, your tale being told
With truth and lies not growing old
What was real turns out to be a myth
Your legend lives on
Centuries have come and gone
Your story lingers on still beyond
About your dilemma between two lands
A story told in every verse.
