Two Halves

WAKE UP

mira!
que mi trenza
trae mil colores
de la tierra
debajo mi piel

mira!
que mi mirada
trae mil razones
que no puedo ser
fiel

a este pais
a esta persona
que nos prometio que?
"el jardín del edén"

acuerda lo que te dijo abuela:
"nunca crea todo lo que te dicen"

no salimos
de nigunas costillas
mejor caímos de las estrellas
que maravilla, no?

no soy para ti
yo soy para mi
no para ti
yo soy para mi
YO SOY!

porque mientras las mentiras me criaron
ya puedo pintar
el mural más intoxicado
con tus ideales de lo que es ser mujer
y jamás pedir disculpas
por
ser
ser
ser

el arco iris de mi alma
me sigue vomitando colores
no pueden vencer mi razones
por querer
seguir
luchando
lo hago logrando
llorando
por ellas

antes y después

de mi

sigue

la libertad!

Translation:

look!
how my braid
carries a thousand colors
of the land beneath my skin!

look!
how my gaze
carries a thousand reasons
why i can not be faithful to this country
-- to a person
that promised us what?
"the garden of eden"

remember what grandmother said:
don't believe everything they tell you

we didn't come out of any ribs!
better yet, we fell from the stars!
How marvelous, no?

i am not for you
i am for me
i am not for you
i am (not for you
i am for me)
I AM
I AM
I AM!

because while lies raised me
now i can paint the most intoxicating mural
with your ideals of what it is to be a "woman"
and never ask forgiveness
for being
being
being

the rainbow of my soul keeps vomiting colors
my reasons can not be vanquished
for wanting to go on
fighting
i do it fighting
crying
for them
before and after me?
Comes freedom.

U Used 2 Call Me [cover]

RUIDOS: a weekly series of vignettes where i explore composition, using mainly voice and found sounds.

yo lloro 
o canto,
tal vez
ser feliz

[no tenemos ninguna otra opción
pero si ud me dice que lo haga
yo lo voy hacer
porque la vida,
es muy frágil
y solo tengo un chance, 
solo tengo un chance 
y lo tengo que 
tomar]

[how do i cope?]

yo nací cuando 
la tierra dejo
dar luz 
a la oscuridad
