Porter / la china ~ cover

Dicen que se fue a buscar en el ombligo de la luna...
que trece veces veinte iba a orar.
que cuando vean el alba en el nopal,
que griten todos ya llegamos de la tierra de Aztlán
que griten todos ya llegamos de la tierra de Aztlán
Solo esperan verse en el lugar
abrazar el suelo y regresar...


Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana

Me enseñó a esperar,
desprendernos de la noche...

Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana

Y cada noche, volando estaba
hablar contigo sin emitir palabra, sin emitir palabra, sin emitir palabra...

Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana...


Seres extraños unidos uno al otro,
Sólo mar y cielo y los planetas...
Y cada noche tú me cantabas
Tus bellas melodías, tus bellas melodías...
Aaaah...*




*They said she went to seek for the navel of the moon
That thirteen times twenty she would pray.
That when dawn would shine over the prickly pear,
May all scream that we came from the land of Aztlan!
May all scream that we came from the land of Aztlan!

They only long to meet at that place,
Hold the ground once and go back...

Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana...

She taught me how to wait,
How to get rid of the night...


Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana...

And night and again, I was flying
To speak to you without uttering a word,
Without uttering a word...

Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana
Mexhi, mexhi, mexhi mexhicana...

Strange beings connected one to another,
Nothing more than the sea and sky, the planets..
And every night you used to sing to me
Your beautiful melodies,
Your beautiful melodies...*
