The great conquistador Hernán Cortés,
was sailing with his men to the coast of Yucatan
They travelled up the river and reached a native city called Tabasco
Fearsome indian warriors, were hiding behind the mangrove trees
Hernán Cortés claimed this land in the name of Spain,
but the native indians responded by attack
Brave tabascan warriors defended their home and their land
Cortés crossed the river and arrows were flying high
In the face of the enemy, men died on both sides
Guns roared like thunder and screams of pain were all around
The indians awaited gods, instead of death and sorrow, unleashed by the
Descendants of the sun.
Horses trampled over bodies
They seemed like creatures out of nigtmares
The natives were scared to death, but they kept on fighting
They fought in shallow waters and the Spaniards were outnumbered,
but with wartime experience and superior weapons, a lot of indian blood was shed
They pushed the indians back to the shore
and the final fight took place at the beach
Even more natives attacked and they fought hard,
but the Spanish defeated them at last
Cortés crossed the river and arrows were flying high
In the face of the enemy, men died on both sides
Guns roared like thunder and screams of pain were all around
The indians awaited gods, instead of death and sorrow, unleashed by the
Descendants of the sun.
After the spanish victory, the Tabascans pledged loyality
The natives bowed respectfully and the chieftain showed humility
He gave a gift of twenty slaves to the spanish conquerers
One of them was native beauty and her name was Malinali
A girl so young and beautiful, all men fell right in love with her
Even Hernán Cortés was overwhelmed when they first met.
Cortés crossed the river and arrows were flying high
In the face of the enemy, men died on both sides
Guns roared like thunder and screams of pain were all around
The indians awaited gods, instead of death and sorrow, unleashed by the
Descendants of the sun.
