El Balcón Lyrics

tu y yo en el balcón
que asoma a los plantíos de plátano
los patrones han muerto y tu
aun sigues trapeando el piso de ajedrez

ven acá, que desde aquí se logran ver
todas las tierras que ahora nuestras son
y un zambo el heredero será
pues de un indio y de una negra eso da.

Cover art for El Balcón lyrics by Café Tacuba

Beautiful jazzy song. About a person of Indian and African descent gaining or becoming the heir to a large plantation. Presumably by either killing the owners in a slave revolt or by taking back the land that was once his. He comes across another servent who is still performing moping duties and tells her that they are free now and the plantation is thiers.
