Letras de In the Year 1519

In the year 1519, the Conquestadores under general Cortes
Discovered a famous Indian civilization
Near a place that is now called Mexico City
Thousands of Aztec and Mayan Indians were massacred
And their culture was completely destroyed
The book of life was filled up with black pages
And darkness ruled over the day

Spirits rise, willing to die
Just to be free they fought for victory
Without pride and without fear
Indians die, die for liberty

They were killed by Spanish soldiers
Pored and left were doomed to dance the dance
Of Senor Cortes
Their sun was black, the rivers colored red
With all the blood from all the slaughter
With no more grace and no more dignity
They lost their pride and lived in slavery
The book of life was filled up with black pages
And darkness ruled over the day

Spirits rise, willing to die
Just to be free they fought for victory
Without pride and without fear
Indians die, die for liberty

They were killed by Spanish soldiers
Pored and left were doomed to dance the dance
Of Senor Cortes
