SONG MIXTECA (WALTZ)
José López Alaves
How far I am from the land where I was born
intense nostalgia invades my thought
and when I see myself as alone and sad as a leaf to the wind
I want to cry I want to die of grief.
Oh earth of the sun! I sigh to see you now
how far I live without love without light
and when I see myself as alone and sad as a leaf to the wind
I want to cry I want to die of grief.
Mixtec is an indin tribe of Oxaca, Puebla, SW Mexico.
