Dove of the Grill (The Grinder)

Lila Downs

Palomo Del Comalito (La Molienda)

La chula', la chulada de esta tierra
Muele ma', muele masa de maíz
Un mila', un milagro de sus manos
Amari', amarillo brillo vi

En tena', en tenate lleva de oro
De oro tier', de oro tierno de maíz
En tena', en tenate lleva de oro
De oro tier', de oro tierno de maíz

Ya acabó, ya acabó mi sufrimiento
Ya no hay mal
No hay mal que dure cien años

Palomi', palomita vuela y dile
Que yo be', que yo beso aquí sus manos
Palomi', palomita vuela y dile
Que yo be', que yo beso aquí sus manos

Palomi', palomita canta un milagro
De la masa del humo de este comal
Tú que be', tú que bebiste mis lágrimas
De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal

Palomi', palomita canta un milagro
De la masa del humo de este comal
Tú que be', tú que bebiste mis lágrimas
De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal

Y milagros, y milagros de esta tierra
Y mujeres que sus manos alimentan

La que invi', la que invita
Aunque nada tenga
Y pelea por las cosas que sí son buenas
La que invi', la que invita
Aunque nada tenga
Y pelea por las cosas que sí son buenas

Palomi', palomita canta un milagro
De la masa del humo de este comal
Tú que be', tú que bebiste mis lágrimas
De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal

Palomi', palomita canta un milagro
De la masa del humo de este comal
Tú que be', tú que bebiste mis lágrimas
De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal

De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal
De gra', de gra', de granitos de cristal

Dove of the Grill (The Grinder)

The beauty, beauty of this land
Grinds corn, grinds corn flour
A miracle, miracle from her hands
I saw a bright yellow, yellow glow

The gold is carried in a basket of palm tenate, in tenate
Tender gold, tender golden corn
The gold is carried in a basket of palm tenate, in tenate
Tender gold, tender golden corn

It's done, my suffering is over
There's no more evil
Nothing bad lasts a hundred years

Fly and tell, little dove, little dove
That I kiss, that I am kissing her hands here
Fly and tell, little dove, little dove
That I kiss, that I am kissing her hands here

Little dove, little dove sings a miracle
From the mass of smoke from this griddle
You, who drank, you, who drank my tears
Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal

Little dove, little dove sings a miracle
From the mass of smoke from this griddle
You, who drank, you, who drank my tears
Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal

And miracles, and miracles, of this land
And women whose hands feed

The one who invites, the one who invites
Even if she has nothing
And fights for the things that are good
The one who invites, the one who invites
Even if she has nothing
And fights for the things that are good

Little dove, little dove sings a miracle
From the mass of smoke from this griddle
You, who drank, you, who drank my tears
Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal

Little dove, little dove sings a miracle
From the mass of smoke from this griddle
You, who drank, you, who drank my tears
Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal

Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal
Of grains, of grains, of little grains of crystal
