Cortez the killer
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects gathered round him
Like the 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 flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still cant do today.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still cant remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.

Point de vue
Très peu de choses écrites ou filmées en adoptant le point de vue des Indiens, du moins à ma connaissance. On peut dire que la victoire des conquérants est complète.
Beau...
Merci pour cette découverte, je ne connaissais pas Neil Young sous ce jour là (j'ai de grosses lacunes encore), ambiance émouvante, musique envoûtante, les paroles... tout y est !
