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.
