    In Las Cruces, New Mexico, the US border fence is such a dark and hideous, nightmarish vision, that festers in my soul, and years later when I see a NY Times video story about the thousands of immigrants found dead in the desert after climbing the fence, everything coalesces, and I am moved to write the powerful song “Bandera”.

    Lyrics

    BANDERA - Jose Conde
    El hombre con su nocion
    De propiedad por divina estrella
    Sobre lo natural
    Subraya su ilusion de barreras
    Meticulosamente
    Dividiendo su conquista
    Hasta que la muerte llega y le enseña su sonrisa

    Bandera, Bandera
    Que esta pasando en la frontera mi bandera

    En nombre de la nacion
    Alzan una Pared
    En vez de ir pa lante
    Estan virando al revez
    Porque donde hay motivo
    Siempre Habra manera
    Y estan riesgando la vida al cruzar
    Y tropesando con carabelas

    Bandera, Bandera
    Que esta pasando en la frontera mi bandera

    Cultura si…. Barreras no
    Alza tu Bandera sin Barreras



    Since 2001 the remains of at least 2200 migrants have been recovered in AZ near the US/Mexico border…

    Man with his notion
    Of property by divine stars (manifest destiny)
    Over nature
    Draws an illusion of barricades
    Meticulously dividing his conquest
    Until death arrives
    And shows him it’s smile…..


    Flag, Flag
    What’s happening on the border my flag?

    In the name of the nation
    They raise a wall
    Instead of moving forward
    They turn and go backwards
    Because where there is a motive
    There will always be a way
    And they are risking their lives in crossing
    And running into cadavers (of those that came before)

    Flag, Flag
    What’s happening on the border my flag?
