Chica

Sitting in the shade of a
pina colada tree
Describing the disease
with her purple pen
While the boys are skinny-dipping,
she’s occupied
By black-coats blasting roads
through sacred lands
Silenced by the anguish
that dried up all her ink
Her mind is disturbed by
the familiar voice

Chica Chica, muy bonita
?Donde esta tu alegria?
Chica Chiquita muy bonita
No te hages sangre friea

Writing the next chapter of her life
Don’t think she’ll say a word,
you’ll read her eyes
While the rude are riding by
on their bikes
Cat-call casting greasy lures
but she slips away
Una chica muy bonita
on the verge of letting go

Chiquita’s got a lot on her mind
She sees the struggle and the fights
Chiquita not ready to bleed
But los mosquitos need to feed

Chica Chica, muy bonita
?Donde esta tu alegria?
Chica Chiquita muy bonita
No te hages sangre friea

Walking down the street with
a mission to meet
She’ll find the moment
underneath her bare feet
Delphi dagger of amnesty
lift the sultry conspiracy
Una chica muy bonita,
vamos al Diablo a quitarle el chile

Chica Chica, muy bonita
?Donde esta tu alegria?
Chica Chiquita muy bonita
No te hages sangre friea

Chiquita’s learning peace of mind
She sees there’s no war to fight
Chiquita’s de sangre caliente
Trail of stars in the desert sky

Chica Chica, muy bonita
?Donde esta tu alegria?
Chica Chiquita muy bonita
No te hages sangre friea
