A Mexican Folk Song
“Just listen to me, Sirs,
I’d like to sing you a song,
It’s something that really happened:
I wouldn’t string you along . . .
It’s the token that you asked for
The loveliest flowers that there’ve been,
With a freshness and a savor
That the world has never seen.
Juanito dropped his cloak then,
Let the roses fall
And disclosed Our Lady’s picture:
Mother of sinners all.
All dropped to their knees then
At this miracle serene,
Crossed themselves and shouted,
“Long live the Indian Queen!”
And this is what really happened
Four hundred years ago,
In fifteen thirty-one
As you rightly know.”
The Great Event
“By a great miracle appeared the heavenly queen,
Saint Mary, our precious mother of Guadalupe,
here near the great altepetl of Mexico,
at a place called Tepeyacac.”
