about

Poesía / Cosijo flows across borders, languages, and Zapotec heritage.

{ inspired by "Urn representing Cosijo" by unknown artist }

lyrics

Fluir, fluir, fluir
Coexisto tal lluvia.

Flow, flow, flow,
I coexist like rain.

Conecto con todo lo que está y al mismo tiempo no es visible
Un ser que no buscar ser visto… si no ver hacia adentro.

Connecting with everything that exists and at the same time is not visible
A being that does not seek to be seen… rather seek within oneself.

Lluvia, agua soy

Como agua fluyo,
Como agua voy y vengo.

Like water I flow,
Like water I come and go.

Enseñanzas ancestrales, guiándonos sin ninguna fuerza
Nadxielii, sangre zapoteca.

Ancestral teachings, guiding us without any imposed force,
Nadxielii, Zapotec blood.

Mientras más busco, menos me encuentro.
The more I seek, the less I find within.

Vivo en las memorias de Pinotepa y Oaxaca,
Sonriendo con colores de alegría y nostalgia,
Viviendo la vida a través de los olores de mi tierra.

I live in the memories of Pinotepa and Oaxaca,
Smiling in colors of joy and nostalgia,
Living life through the fragrance of my hometown.

Lluvia, agua soy

La naturaleza es maestra,
Coexistimos en armonía y de pronto olvidamos que solíamos existir separados.

Nature becomes our teacher,
We coexist in harmony and suddenly forget that we used to be apart.

Rutinas diarias que sofocan, de lo único que podemos estar seguros es de que todo cambia.
Daily routines that keep us from breathing, the only certainty is that everything will change.

Manos en el corazón,
Corazón en el cielo.

Hands on heart,
Heart in the sky.

Joyas de oro de Monte Albán y jade para recordarnos de dónde venimos.
Monte Alban gold and jade to remind us where we come from.

Ojos cerrados para sentir,
Manos cruzadas para despertar al alma.

Eyes wide shut to feel,
Overlapping hands to wake our souls.

Ancestros que viven, sanan, conectan y crecen en mí.
Curamos todo aquello que nos impidió vivir.

Ancestors that live, heal, connect and grow in me.
We heal everything that stopped us from living.

Curamos años de opresión y vergüenza,
Curamos resentimientos y traumas generacionales.

We healed years of oppression and shame,
We healed resentments and intergenerational trauma.

Cosijo, nuestra madre tierra te llama

Lluvia, agua soy
