Ramona

Like the dust, Ramona
Your name in the dry hills
A myth we dreamed up
Out of so many lies
We walk on the stolen
Your land and your stories
And think that the Spanish
Left sweet-sounding names

Like and acorn, Ramona
Fallen to the ground
Living the last days
Of your heart and your tribe
The true Californian
Oh land of abundance
How we've forgotten
Your terrible trials

Ramona
Canta la desventura
De tu pueblo olvidado

Ramona
Buscamos la verdad
La historia que perdimos
En las mentiras vendidas
Que compramos sin pensar

Like the sky, Ramona
Forever above
Searching for refuge
With your husband and child
Pushed higher and higher
Into your mountains
The green of your future
Has dried up and died

Ramona
Canta la desventura
De tu pueblo olvidado

Ramona
Buscamos la verdad
La historia que perdimos
En las mentiras vendidas
Que compramos sin pensar

Like a river, Ramona
Gone underground
The ghost of your oak trees
By highways they sigh
We walk on the stolen
Your land and stories
And fade in the last sun
Of red Spanish tile

Ramona
Canta la desventura
De tu pueblo olvidado

Ramona
Buscamos la verdad
La historia que perdimos
En las mentiras vendidas
Que compramos sin pensar
