lyrics

POEMA DE CANTARES MEXICANOS

EN ESPANOL

"Estoy tocando mi huehuetl,
Yo que busco canciones para despertar
e inspirar a nuestros amigos,
cuyos corazones yacen apáticos,
para quien el día aún no respira,
para los que duermen en coma.
Aquellos que se glorían en la noche sombría,
cuando el amanecer floreciente ya canta su canción,
y cuando una vez más, la mañana ilumina el lugar
donde tocan los huehuetls ……… .. ”

el poema XOPAN CUICATL
de
CANTARES EN IDIOMA MEXICANO

IN ENGLISH

“I am playing my huehuetl,
I who hunt for songs to awaken and fire our friends
whose hearts lie listless,
for whom the day does not yet breathe
those who sleep in comas,
those who glory in gloomy night when
the flowering dawn already sings her song
and when once again morn lightens the place
where the huehuetls play..........”
