Sunday Song (on Monday) - Negra es la Uva

A powerfully visual offertory song that stands in stark contrast to the mass produced bread and wine Catholics consume at most masses (including the ones in Andahuaylillas). 



Negra es la uva, largo el camino,
duro el trabajo, rojo es el vino.
Campo sembrado, trigo amarillo,
manos que hacen el pan.
   
Acéptalos, recíbelos
y danos tu Cuerpo y tu Sangre  (bis)
   
Te presentamos estas ofrendas
un poco de pan, un poco de vino
manos agrestes, rostros cansados,
trabajo del campesino.
Black is the grape, long is the road
Hard is the work, red is the wine
Planted field, yellow wheat
Hands that make the bread

Accept it, receive it
And give us your Body and Blood (2 time)

We present to you these offerings
A big of bread, a bit of wine
Tough hands, tired faces
Work of the peasant.
