Aztec Songs & Poetry
|
|
of Visitors from Other Worlds
|
|
|
|
Once again through investigation of little known records, there are
|
|
glimpses of the past, these point at Ancient Astronauts landing on
|
|
planet Earth. All poetry quotations are taken from Canti Aztechi
|
|
(Aztec Songs) edited by Ugo Liberatore and Jorge Hernandez-Campos
|
|
(Guanda, Perma, 1966). The number brackets refer to the songs listed
|
|
at the end of each song.
|
|
|
|
1. Only for a little.
|
|
2. Like the spring grass.
|
|
3. At least the flowers.
|
|
4. Songs of sadness.
|
|
5. Songs for the ancestors (Tlapalla is "the place of the red and
|
|
black" and "marks the path of the Sun from zenith to setting").
|
|
6. Lonely as a cloud.
|
|
7. The doubt.
|
|
8. Song of Xipe Totec, the drinker of night.
|
|
9. The kingdom of death.
|
|
10. To the god of war, Huitzilopochtli (the names Amantia and
|
|
Pipitlan indicate the sea and the southern section of the sky
|
|
respectively).
|
|
11. The poet's torment.
|
|
12. The song of Tetlepanquetzanitin.
|
|
13. Song of Friendship.

|
Does one really live here on Earth?
|
|
Not for all time, only for a little! (1)
|
|
We come only to sleep,
|
|
Only to dream.
|
|
It is not true, it is not true
|
|
That we have come to live on Earth! (2)
|
|
But what can my heart do, if it is in vain
|
|
That we come to live upon the earth,
|
|
To flower in vain? (3)
|
|
Where, O my heart, is the place of life?
|
|
Where is my true home?
|
|
Where my true dwelling place?
|
|
I suffer, here upon Earth. (4)
|
|
Here the flowery death is born.
|
|
Those who took from Tlapalla,

|
|
|
Our ancestors, reached Earth . . . (5)
|
|
What shall we sing, my friends?
|
|
In what shall we rejoice?
|
|
There alone our song lives,
|
|
Where our ancestors were born.
|
|
On Earth, where they lived . . .
|
|
I suffer here on Earth . . .
|
|
He who gives life conceals
|
|
Men in a casket and in an ark . . . .
|
|
But shall I see them? Shall my eyes see
|
|
The faces of my father and my mother?
|
|
Can they offer me their song,
|
|
Their words, which I search for?
|
|
Here is no one,
|
|
They have left us as orphans, here on Earth. (6)
|
|
Where shall I go? Alas, where shall I go?
|
|
Doubt hangs heavy upon me.
|
|
PERHAPS TO THE HOUSE OF GOD,
|
|
WHENCE ONE DESCENDS, IN THE CENTER OF THE SKY,
|
|
Or here where one descends in the heart of
|
|
Earth? (7)
|
|
Green serpent of the lighting . . . (8)
|
|
You are the quechol bird, color of fire,
|
|
Which flies across the plain
|
|
In the kingdom of death. (9)
|
|
Huitzilopochtli, the warrior,
|
|
He who acts on high
|
|
Follows his own path . . .
|
|
O marvellous dweller among the clouds . . .
|
|
O dweller in the region of the frozen wings . . . .
|
|
He causes the walls of fire to fall down
|
|
Where the feathers are gathered.
|
|
Thus he wages war
|
|
And subdues the peoples . . .
|
|
Eager for war, the Flaming One descends,
|
|
He rages where the whirling dust arises.
|
|
Come to our aid!
|
|
There is war, there is burning.
|
|
Those Pipitlan are our enemies (10)
|
|
Friends, a mission has driven us to the world . . . (11)
|
|
It is true we shall become friends,
|
|
It is true we shall live upon Earth,
|
|
But the time will come when
|
|
You will tire of our friendship. (12)
|
|
I look with hatred on death and I suffer . . .
|
|
It matters not what precious stones
|
|
The same thread unites,
|
|
It does not matter that we are united
|
|
Like gems on the same necklace . . .
|
|
My friend, my true friend,
|
|
LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
|
|
As you know, so too do I know; we live only once.
|
|
One day we shall go hence.
|
|
We are come hear only to know one another,
|
|
Only on loan have we come to Earth . . .
|
|
Yet we live here with dejection,
|
|
Here, where we are watched and spied upon . . . (13)
