Tocaña
Miguel is Michael
Black, American born, a father
Math graduate; taught as teacher
'Mom' he called from a border
'I'm leaving to Mexico; the USA.'
Si no hay coca no hay vida
'No hay coca con Dios
No hay coca con Dios, hay vida mia
.......................................................
Yeniente que esta parado no hago valer'.
Michael hears as Miguel; doesn't get
He knows
He, the Michael Miguel
No one else
None of freed slaves in USA
None of Coroico's freed slaves
Only Michael knows; the Miguel
And talks behind him
Back at home vary
From talks where he lives
One speaking English
Other does in Spanish
Two tongues; colonialists'
Both black slaves, possible
Separated from same parents
In Africa; sometime by hunters
Who cares what the talks are
In Africa, in USA and Bolivia
All what is said is rumor
Guessing guesses; no more
