Cortez, The Killer
Neil Young
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for a new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
The secrets of the worlds
Oh, and his subjects gathered round him
Like leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
They carried them to the flat-lands
And they died along the way
They built up with their bare hands
What we still can't build today
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I can still remember when
Or how I lost my way

He came dancing across the water
Vino danzando sobre el agua
With his galleons and guns
Con sus galeones y cañones
Looking for a new world
Buscando un nuevo mundo
A palace in the sun
Un palacio en el sol
On the shore lay Montezuma
En la orilla yacía Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
Con sus hojas de cacao y perlas
In his halls he often wondered
En sus salones a menudo se preguntaba
The secrets of the worlds
Los secretos de los mundos
Oh, and his subjects gathered round him
Oh, y sus súbditos se reunieron a su alrededor
Like leaves around a tree
Como hojas alrededor de un árbol
In their clothes of many colors
En sus ropas de muchos colores
For the angry gods to see
Para que los dioses enojados pudieran ver
And the women all were beautiful
Y todas las mujeres eran hermosas
And the men stood straight and strong
Y los hombres se mantenían rectos y fuertes
They offered life in sacrifice
Ofrecieron la vida en sacrificio
So that others could go on
Para que otros pudieran continuar
Hate was just a legend
El odio era solo una leyenda
And war was never known
Y la guerra nunca se conocía
The people worked together
La gente trabajaba junta
And they lifted many stones
Y levantaron muchas piedras
They carried them to the flat-lands
Las llevaron a las tierras planas
And they died along the way
Y murieron en el camino
They built up with their bare hands
Construyeron con sus propias manos
What we still can't build today
Lo que todavía no podemos construir hoy
And I know she's living there
Y sé que ella vive allí
And she loves me to this day
Y me ama hasta el día de hoy
I can still remember when
Todavía puedo recordar cuándo
Or how I lost my way
O cómo perdí mi camino

They built up with their bare hands
Eles construíram com suas próprias mãos
What we still can't build today

And she loves me to this day
E ela me ama até hoje
I can still remember when
