Lyrics Lila Downs - Mostla

********** Nahuatl ******************

"Mostla",
queman nehuatl nionmiquis
amo queman ximocuesco

Nican,
ocsepa nican nionhualas
cualtzin huitzitzilin
nimocuepas.

Soatzin,
queman ticonitas tonatiu
ica moyolo xionpaqui

Ompa,
Ompa niyetos ihuan totahtzin
cualtzin tlahuilli
nimitmacas.

********** English **************

Tomorrow,
tomorrow when I die,
I don't want you to be sad.

Here,
from here I will come back
as a hummingbird

Woman,
when you look at the sun
smile with rejoice,

There,
There I will be with our father.
