Oh, do you see her?
Queen of the heavens on the move
Carried over oceans into India
Seduced by their gods and the heat and monsoons
How well, how obediently they received her
But Maria, there's an elephant head in your womb
Oh, they believe in her
Carved her idol into rock
Over time, they married her to Shiva
On their knees they begged her undrown their crops
Oh Lady, Lady Dolorosa
Many armed, many nippled mother of God
Santa Maria
Santa Lakshmi of the ponds
Forgot where she came from
Out in Nirvana she was lost
Draped in rosaries of jasmine, broken veena
Adore, exalt at the foot of a cross
Where she wept in ivory and silver till
Her child was reborn on a lotus pond
Oh, do you see her?
Lost in her saffron-scented joy
Eastern Maria
Nursing a blue-skinned baby boy
