Cenzontle — Songs in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl
by Xica Sonica

Cenzontle is a multilingual song project designed to teach and celebrate language through music. Featuring lyrics in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl, this album invites listeners into a melodic journey across geographies, generations, and vocabularies.

Blending cultural rhythm, accessible phrasing, and poetic repetition, each track supports language learning through intuitive sound. These songs are ideal for classrooms, intergenerational households, and anyone reconnecting with ancestral or community languages through art.

More than music, Cenzontle is a living learning tool — an invitation to sing memory into the present, and speak tomorrow with the tongues of our ancestors.

- Language learning (Nahuatl/Spanish/English)
- Cultural education and immersion
- Multigenerational engagement

TRACK DESCRIPTIONS:

TRACK 1: Makochi Pitentzin / Duermese Mi Niño / Sleep My Baby	

Makochi Pitentzin is a trilingual lullaby that cradles listeners in the languages of Nahuatl, Spanish, and English. Rooted in a traditional Nahuatl song, it gently honors the maternal — a presence that holds us through night, memory, and breath.

Softly sung in three languages, this lullaby becomes a bridge across generations, geographies, and time. It’s ideal for bedtime rituals, early language learning, and ancestral reconnection through song.

The original Nahuatl version of this song was recorded by Jose Raul Hellmer and now part of the the Instituto Nacional de Historia e Antropologia en Mexico and first recorded between 1962 and 1968 from elders in Morelia and Guerrero.

Translations into English and Spanish by Iris Rodriguez.

TRACK 2: Xikiyehua In Xochitl / Guarda Esta Flor / Keep this Flower	

A trilingual love song inspired by ancestral poetry and the enduring symbolism of the flower. Xikiyehua in Xochitl is sung in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English — weaving together languages of the heart into a tender, rhythmic offering.

Centered on the blossoming of a flower as a metaphor for love, presence, and connection, this song invites listeners to feel deeply and listen closely. Whether used for language learning or quiet reflection, it offers timeless beauty through voice and vibration.

The original Nahuatl version of this song was recorded by Jose Raul Hellmer and now part of the the Instituto Nacional de Historia e Antropologia en Mexico and first recorded between 1962 and 1968 from elders in Morelia and Guerrero.

TRACK 3: Ilhuitl / Día / Day	

Ilhuitl / Día / Day is a trilingual vocal offering that sings the 20 day signs of the Tonalpohualli — the sacred calendar of ancestral time based on the Nahua Toltecayotl. Performed in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English, this track carries the rhythm of days as memory, as movement, and as meaning.

Each name is spoken like a breath, a call, a rhythm passed down. More than a list, Ilhuitl is a melodic cycle — honoring time as something living, embodied, and still unfolding.

Ideal for those learning the calendar, reconnecting with ancestral cycles, or seeking sound as a way to move through time with intention.

歌詞 / 

見えてるものが　全てじゃない

電線に伝う雨　季節外れの台風

君の声は　目に見えない　

どこかで変わっている　姿　仕草　吐息

また　ためいきをついてる　

ほら　隙間から夜がやってくる


もうすぐ雨が通り過ぎたとして

しけてる空気と君を連れ出すから　

笑ってくれないか

どこかで待ってる　街と声を忘れて

誰かの寝息を聞きながら

ほら、朝が来る


ぬぐいきれない　言葉がある

誰かから聞いた話　覚えてない同級生

君の声が　思い出せない

どこかに残ってる　僕と君の秘密

また　ため息をついたら

ほら　隙間から夜がやってくる


もうすぐ雨が通り過ぎたとして

しけてる空気で君を引き止めるから　

叱ってくれないか

どこかで待ってる街と声を忘れて

僕らの秘密は終わることなく

続いてく



思いを伝えたら

ほら秘密は生まれてく

もうすぐ雨が通り過ぎたとして

しけてる空気と君を連れ出すから

叱ってくれないか

どこかで待ってる

街と声を忘れて

互いの寝息を聞きながらほら

朝が来る
