lyrics

Madre córteme la trenza,
madre córtemela usted,
yo le entrego las tijeras
la rabia ya la lloré.

Madre córteme la trenza,
madre córtemela bien,
la echaremos bajo tierra
madre, no me llore usted.

Ni el agua que bebo es mía
ni la tierra que yo labro al sol
mi palabra ha de ser eco
de la que dicta el señor,
de la que dicta el señor.

No soy dueña del deseo
que yo siento en mi pulsar,
maldicen mi pensamiento,
baladí es mi voluntad.

Sueño con ser hondo río,
mi cabello será caudal
más esta trenza me amarra
es soga de tierra feudal.

Ni el agua que bebo es mía
ni la tierra que yo labro al sol
mi palabra ha de ser eco
de la que dicta el señor.

Temprano afilé aquesta hoja
me urdí el pelo decidida,
reniego de hueco en mi vientre
a nueva semilla cautiva.

Madre córteme la trenza,
madre córtemela bien,
la echaremos bajo tierra
madre, no me llore usted.
