Puerto Lyrics - Algiers - Calexico

Lupita's 'gonna weave a path to the land up north 

'Gonna find her way through the thick of it all 

Looking at the lights dancing in the sky 

Hoping for a fallen star 

"Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto" 

Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness 

But they landed with only one purpose for conquest 

Though there's still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears 

Rigo working one, two, three different jobs 

And when he comes back home he welds into the night 

Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck 

'Gonna fly up and over the wall 

If everything stays exactly the same 

Then nothing can move and nothing can change 

"Me siento ese pájaro que danza sobre el puerto" 

Carried ships from the sea up over the mountains

The warriors fell to their knees by the invisible virus 

And still you can feel this wave of unsettling anger that never disappears 

She's talking on the phone in the heart of town 

To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world 

Saying "please come back to Santo Domingo 

Why you gotta be so far away" 

If everyone stays exactly the same 

Then no one can move and no one can change 

"Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto" 

No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction 

Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche 

Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar 

Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning 

Codices lost to a language that's been broken 

There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears 

"Ninguna entrada, queda en el puerto"
