[Verse 1]
Am E
Lupita's 'gonna weave a path to the land up north
Am E
'Gonna find her way through the thick of it all
Am E
Looking at the lights dancing in the sky
Am E
Hoping for a fallen star
[Spanish part]
Am E
Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E
Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness
Dm Am E
But they landed with only one purpose for conquest
Dm Am E E7
Though there's still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
[Verse 2]
Am E
Rigo working one, two, three different jobs
Am E
And when he comes back home he welds into the night
Am E
Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck
Am E
'Gonna fly up and over the wall
[Chorus]
Am Am/F#
If everything stays exactly the same
Am/F E
Then nothing can move and nothing can change
[Spanish part]
Am E
Me siento ese pájaro que danza sobre el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E
Carried ships from the sea up over the mountains
Dm Am E
The warriors fell to their knees by the invisible virus
Dm Am E E7
And still you can feel this wave of unsettling anger that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
[Verse 3]
Am E
She's talking on the phone in the heart of town
Am E
To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world
Am E
Saying "please come back to Santo Domingo
Am E
Why you gotta be so far away"
[Chorus]
Am Am/F#
If everything stays exactly the same
Am/F E
Then no one can move and no one can change
[Spanish part]
Am E
Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E
No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction
Dm Am E
Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche
Dm Am E
Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar
Dm Am E
Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning
Dm Am E
Codices lost to a language that's been broken
Dm Am E E7
There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
[Spanish part]
