Lyrics
You left from where you came before
You departed from your original place
Searching for something more
Seeking something beyond what was known
But now you see what was lost
Realizing the value of what was left behind
So "viva la causa" (live for the cause)
Expressing the sentiment "live for the cause"
It wasn't an american dream
Contrasting with the idealized American dream
In the housing next to Apache Creek
Referring to a location near Apache Creek
They all forgot what you made
Community forgetting your contributions
So "huelga today" (strike today)
Advocating for a strike with "huelga today"
It's not growing anymore
Indicating stagnation or lack of growth
In the summer heat
Describing a situation in the heat of summer
We're all burning up
Symbolic reference to intense challenges
I've got tomato cheeks
Personalizing with "tomato cheeks"
Just like the ones you grew in the country
Comparing to tomatoes grown in the countryside
The gardens roots are misled
Suggesting the garden's roots are misunderstood
If they're not living up to the dead
If not living up to the deceased, it's misleading
Honor everything that they made
Urging respect for past contributions
"Si se puede" today (yes it is possible)
Encouraging empowerment with "Si se puede" (yes it is possible)
Return the earth to elder hands
Advocating for returning the earth to older generations
She's crying at our feet
Depicting the earth or nature in distress
We're all burning up
Reiterating challenges with "We're all burning up"
I've got tomato cheeks
Personalizing again with "tomato cheeks"
Just like the ones you grew in the country
Recalling tomatoes grown in the countryside
