Three Bloodlines

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Dos mundos

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I flew down past the cordillera line

Your voice arrived before your face did

Barranquilla heat on my winter skin

Something in me started to give

You laughed and said my name all wrong

I let you keep the wrong one anyway

Pre-Chorus

Two flags folded in one drawer

Three bloodlines humming in my chest

You are the fourth thing I never saw coming

Chorus

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

From Cartagena to the Osage hills

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

Your grandmother's rosary my grandfather's drum

Somehow they keep the same time

Verse 2

Your mother prays in a tongue I'm still learning

My aunties pray in a tongue I forgot

You dance with your whole spine

I stand still and watch you not

Dublin in my jaw

Prairie in my knees

Bogotá in the way you say my name

Pre-Chorus

Two flags folded in one drawer

Three bloodlines humming in my chest

You are the fourth thing I never saw coming

Chorus

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

From Cartagena to the Osage hills

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

Your grandmother's rosary my grandfather's drum

Somehow they keep the same time

Bridge

Te quiero despacio

I love you slow

Te quiero despacio

I love you slow

Teach me the words I don't own

I'll teach you the ones I do

Chorus

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

From Cartagena to the Osage hills

Tú y yo

Tú y yo

Your grandmother's rosary my grandfather's drum

Somehow they keep the same time

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Tú y yo
