ixim ixoq/mujer maíz / the seed
song for rigoberta menchú (title in maya quiché/guatemala)
(music & lyrics by edna f vázquez d)
v1
mujer maíz
milpa en tierra
sabia raíz
¿por qué te destierran?
los vientos del cambio
v2
la naturaleza
siempre a tu lado
y no en la cabeza
de los que te han cercado
guerrera de paz, de
blancas banderas
v3
tu sangre aboliente
juana, vicente, víctor presente
surco, semilla y pozo
siembra valiente
contra el ser ‘destrozo’
v4
indígena sanes del cruel idilio
mujer de atardecer
germine la planta sobre tu exilio
venga pues el brío
de tata sol
en tiempo de frío
v5
como agua enmarcada
en huipil y zenahua
como rayos de sol
de sinigual resplandor
acaben la avaricia
v6
de los sordos que oyen
de los ciegos que ven
pueblo en transición
renace la visión
a la cruel añoranza de lo ya perdido
v7
mujer maíz
milpa ya en tierra
a destiempo brillas peculiar estrella
tu dolor que paz destella
y a todos tu palabra aterra
ixim ali
(music & lyrics by edna vázquez)

(music & lyrics by edna f vázquez d)
v1
seed, woman
cornfield on land
wise root
why do they banish you!
the winds of change
v2
nature
always by your side
and not in the head
of those who have surrounded you
peace warrior, made of white flags
v3
your abolishing blood
juana, vicente, victor present!
furrow, seeds they are, they were
brave harvest
against ‘destruction beings’
v4
indigenous heal from the ‘cruel idyll’
woman of the sunset
the seed germinate on your exile
come then the verve
from tata (father/mother) sun, in cold times
v5
like framed water
in an imprinted quilt
like the sun’s ray
of unparalleled radiance (2x)
to end the greed forever
v6
from the deaf who hear
from the blind who see
a tribe in transition
a vision is reborn
to the cruel longing for what’s already lost
v7
seed, woman
seed already on land
at the wrong time you shine, peculiar star
your pain, what flashes peace
and your word terrifies us all
