Rezo a Tonantzin

Tonantzin
madre de todo
lo que de ti vive,
es, habita, mora, está;
Madre de todos los dioses
las diosas
madre de todos nosotros,
la nube y el mar
la arena y el monte
el musgo y el árbol
el ácaro y la ballena.

Derramando flores
haz de mi manto un recuerdo
que jamás olvidemos que tú eres
único paraíso de nuestro vivir.

Bendita eres,
cuna de la vida, fosa de la muerte,
fuente del deleite, piedra del sufrir.

Concédenos, madre, justicia,
concédenos, madre, la paz.

Prayer to Tonantzin

Tonantzin mother of all
that of you lives,
be, dwells, inhabits, is;
Mother of all the gods
the goddesses
Mother of us all,
the cloud & the sea
the sand & the mountain
the moss & the tree
the mite & the whale.

Spilling flowers
make of my cloak a reminder
that we never forget that you are
the only paradise of our living.

Blessed are you,
cradle of life, grave of death,
fount of delight, rock of pain.

Grant us, mother, justice,
grant us, mother, peace.
