Ekhymosis

La Tierra

(The World)

Lyric Snippet:

"Ama la tierra en que naciste

Amala es una y nada mas

A la mujer que te pario

Amala es una y nada mas

Ama tu hermano ama tu raza

Amala es una y nada mas

Ama tu sangre y no la riegues por ahí

Amala es una y nada mas"

(Love the land on which you were born Love it, it's one and nothing more The woman who gave birth to you Love her, she's one and nothing more

Love your brother, love your race Love it, it's one and nothing more Love your blood and don't spill it there Love it, it's one and nothing more)

• What land were you born on? What does this mean beyond determining your nationality?

• What's the importance of loving others? How can you show others love?

• What do you think is meant by the lines

"Ama tu sangre y no la riegues por ahí

Amala es una y nada mas"

(Love your blood and don't spill it there

Love it, it's one and nothing more)?
