Resistencia Indigena, 12 de Octubre

They called it discovery when it was actually invasion
We were taught to believe that Christopher Columbus
Was a hero who arrived in the American continent
To educate us, but it was only subjugation

Indigenous resistance, on October 12th, 1492

They arrived, looted, raped, and killed, in the name
Of God, they taught that only animals lived here
As indigenous people, but in reality, they were the ones
Less intelligent, they changed their beliefs and some died
Defending their ancestral cultures

They called it discovery when it was actually invasion
We were taught to believe that Christopher Columbus
Was a hero who arrived in the American continent

Indigenous resistance, on October 12th, 1492

With violence, they subdued those who for centuries
Had lived in America, discovery, what a big lie
Who benefited from saying this? The church?
The kings? Or Spain itself? They instilled fear
Saying that earthquakes were punishments from God for
Rebelling against the crown

Was a hero who arrived in the American continent
