Original lyrics

EN

Kill the noble ones and make a pile of priests Slaughter in the city Alvarado murders while the captain is out Slay without a pity The aztecs cry out in pain Seeking their vengeance, they pray: "Tenochtitlan Stands under the God of the sun Give us your might Eye for an eye, now we fight" Jaguar knights are laying siege to the camp Showing no mercy Cortes returns to find his army is trapped Aztecs in fury King moctezuma appears Begging his people to hear: ‘Lay down your spears my friends And let us make amends The killing now must end For honor and victory’ But, they could not endure A coward emperor And so they took his life The fall of the feathered king
