Luna Desmembrada

Dismembered Moon

Luna Desmembrada

Transparent woman, you see in the candlesMujer transparente, ves en las velas
Specters of trailsEspectros de estelas

Drums resound, starry rituals, dancing waitsRetumban tambores, rituales de estrellas, danzando esperas
Doleful gaze, soul of hatred, scent of deathMirada doliente, alma de odio, aroma de muerte
Feeling in silence, whispers from altars, burning the bonesSentir en silencio, susurros de altares, quemando los huesos

Eternal moon, sickens our mindsLuna eterna, nos enferma la mente
Eternal moon, sickens our soulsLuna eterna, nos enferma el alma
Eternal moon, pierces our livesLuna eterna, nos perfora la vida
Eternal moon, in total tranceLuna eterna, en trance total

Oh dismembered moon!¡Ah Luna desmenbrada!
You will be eternal, you will be eternal, CoyolxauhquiEterna serás, eterna serás, coyolxauhqui

Now they have gathered, the lords and the noblesAxcan ococotonac, ahmo tzontecotl ihuan tecuatetontli
In the skyNehuatl in cencamochihuac ilhuicac
And the gods and the goddesses, Aztecs of the moonIhuan teyoachihuanichuatl aztecatl in cocoyoli
They come to see the great danceCoameh motlanica noxocoyo acohuetziliztli
In the night of the moon, CoyolxauhquiCicitlalnahuac nehuatl ni coyolxauhqui

Maternal selfishness, abyssal depths of the temple, pale and waningEgoísmo maternal, abismales del teocalli, pálida y menguante

Sickens the mind, sickens the soulEnferma la mente, enferma el alma
Pierces life, in total trancePerfora la vida, en trance total
Oh dismembered moon!¡Ah Luna desmenbrada!
You will be eternal, you will be eternal, CoyolxauhquiEterna serás, eterna serás, coyolxauhqui
