Infinitude precedes us
Site of our ancient forbearers
Heart of ocean, heart of sky
Latent spirits at the source
Of our place in the shadows
From the darkness that envelops
The liminal emerged
From the penumbra
A dominion between worlds
Dual paradigm of our existence
Umbral progenitors
Vucub Caquix has deceived you
Clutching our tongues in its talons
A tired moon
An aimless sun
Became the harbingers of our decay
Encroached upon by the morning light
Our memory recedes
Our place in the shadows fades
A dream surrenders to the waking mind
Primordial mother
Giver of breath, Giver of heart
Ixchel
We entreat you

The poets tell how Villa fell
A man of immortal fame
Seven leagues of polished steel
For land and liberty
With skin like iron
To gamble and triumph
Nowhere and everywhere
Seated in the chair
At the cannon's foot
To expel the invader
Climbing hills, crossing mountains
For homeland and honor
The beast uncaged
The reigns strained
The tiger dispatched
The dominos fall
Adiós torres de Chihuahua
Adiós torres de cantera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A quitarnos la frontera

Face of the Sun

Then began their reign
Then began their rule
Poised upon the precipice
Willingly into the well of sacrifice
Returned from sacred cenote
From death
To declare the prophecy
To rule
That which came was a drought
Hoofs of the animals burned
Seashore burned
A sea of misery
So it was said on high
The face of the sun was eaten
Darkened
Extinguished
Black
So it was said

When the sun died I went to heaven
And spoke to God
He commanded we love one another
Forbade quarrels, thieves, and liars
He gave me this dance
A dance for my people
The ancestors will return
All evil is washed away
Renewed Earth
Unmolested by the plough
Wisdom in dreams
Freedom in soil
In the homes of our fathers
In the bosom of our mother
Dance a new world into being
Keep dancing
We shall live
We shall live again
