[Verse 1]
Am E Lupita's 'gonna weave a path to the land up north Am E 'Gonna find her way through the thick of it all Am E Looking at the lights dancing in the sky Am E Hoping for a fallen star
[Spanish part]
Am E Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness Dm Am E But they landed with only one purpose for conquest Dm Am E E7 Though there's still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
[Verse 2]
Am E Rigo working one, two, three different jobs Am E And when he comes back home he welds into the night Am E Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck Am E 'Gonna fly up and over the wall
[Chorus]
Am Am/F# If everything stays exactly the same Am/F E Then nothing can move and nothing can change
[Spanish part]
Am E Me siento ese pájaro que danza sobre el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E Carried ships from the sea up over the mountains Dm Am E The warriors fell to their knees by the invisible virus Dm Am E E7 And still you can feel this wave of unsettling anger that never disappears

[Verse 3]
Am E She's talking on the phone in the heart of town Am E To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world Am E Saying "please come back to Santo Domingo Am E Why you gotta be so far away"
[Chorus]
Am Am/F# If everything stays exactly the same Am/F E Then no one can move and no one can change
[Spanish part]
Am E Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am E No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction Dm Am E Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche Dm Am E Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar Dm Am E Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning Dm Am E Codices lost to a language that's been broken Dm Am E E7 There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears

Am E Am E Ninguna entrada , queda en el puerto
