I stand in a field of green, a serape on my back
And play for these parties of rich men in black
We come to this country, an amusement in fact
For touristas and soldiers who once we attacked
But who drove us back
The war is not over in the eyes of Maria
Who fights using weapons of skin and gut, and reed
There are prayers for the dead, in the songs of the living
There are children and bullets, bombs bursting in air In the eyes of Maria
This cup that is served us, with the seeds of our land
Though salted and sweetened will always taste bland
When served from your hand
Like a spring in the desert, you drink from our songs
They wash you in water, make right what is wrong
The war is not over in the eyes of Maria
Who fights using weapons of skin and gut, and reed
There are prayers for the dead, in the songs of the living
There are children and bullets, and the rocket's red glare
In the eyes of Maria
The war is not over in the eyes of Maria
She fights using weapons of skin and gut, and reed
There are prayers for the dead, in the songs of the living
There are children and bullets, bombs bursting in air
In the eyes of Maria
There are faces and flowers
On this day of the dead
In the eyes of Maria
