Dignificada
At night, in the distance, a scream In the south, they say, “It is the voice of silence” In this wardrobe, a cat, trapped Because a woman Because a woman Defended her right
From the mountains, the voice of lightning It’s the clear thunder of truth In this holy life wherein no-one forgives no-thing But if a woman But if a woman Fights for her dignity

I followed your steps girl-child Until I reached the mountain Then I followed God’s path In the company of animas
Oh, dark-skinned girl, Oh, my dark-skinned girl I won’t forget you
Beautiful Mother, pray for her Loving Mother, pray for her Merciful Mother, pray for her
“Dignificada” performed by Lila Downs. BBC Newsnight interview with Lila Downs.
