Talk to Me About the South

Háblame Del Sur

I could tell you a million stories about my people,Podria contarte un millón de historias de mi gente,
that would show we are not different,que desmostrara que no somos diferentes,
I could but first you have to want to hear them,podria pero primero tienes que querer escucharlas,
with an open heart or they will just be words.con el corazon abierto sino tan solo seran palabras.

Black, white, yellowNegro, blanco, amarillo
brown and redmoreno y colorao
for the skin any is good,para la piel cualquiera es bueno,
all except purple,todos menos el morao,
except purple.menos el morao.

Talk to me about the south,Hablame del sur,
about its moon.de su luna.
Talk to me about April,Hablame de abril,
about its flowers.de sus flores.
Talk to me about healing kisses,Hablame de besos curanderos,
and give me beer and snails.y dame cervecita y caracoles.
Talk to me about the south,Hablame del sur,
about its people.de su gente.
Talk to me about dewy nights,Hablame de noches de relente,
talk to me because I always listenhablame poruqe yo siempre escucho
as long as a snake doesn't speak.mientras que no hable una serpiente.

Don't you realize you come across as primitive,No te das cuenta que resultas primitivo,
that your speech today no longer makes sense,que tu discurso hoy ya no tiene sentido,
that the differences you still see between us,que las diferencias que tu sigus viendo entre nosotros,
are hallucinations in the desert of your hatred.son alucinaciones en el desierto de tu odio.
