lyrics

INTRO
A A Bb Bb A A Bb Bb

C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
In the fertile lands of Campeche Mexico
C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - A Mayan woman named Leydy Pech trans-FORMED into the Queen
Bbm - - Bbm - -
of Beekeepers, de-FY-ing the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To zone and to clone a moaning monoculture
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land


Dm Dm
Power to the pollinators!
C C
Mother Father Earth Cre-A-tors
Bb Bb
Leydy Pech oh please
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Let us love the bees ---------





C7 - - C7- - C7- - Fm
She gathered la gente, the lawyers, the farmers,
C7 - - C7- - C7- - Fm - -
the wise Mayan elders and the beekeepers daughters
Bbm Bbm - -
Her love for life and de-FEND-ing the land
Bbm C7 - -
Fueled the fight and powered the witness stands
Bbm F#m C7 F
With the forces of nature coursing through their hands
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land



Dm Dm
Pollinate the revol-U-tion! (bzz bzz)
C C
Fertile thoughts to grow sol-U-tions
Bb Bb
The bee connection, honey’d hands
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Sus-TAIN our cultures and the lands --------------------











C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
Many brave SOULS quelled Mon-SANT-o’s mo-NO-poly, supplanting
C7 - - C7- - C7 - - Fm - -
Mono with many, and poison with plenty
Bbm - - Bbm - - Bbm - - C7 - -
Now they’re feeding the forests, the fields are filled with local seed,
Bbm - - F# - - C7 - - F - -
And those beloved bees fly all around as they please
Bbm - - Bbm - -
It was the beekeepers who de-FIED the grim reaper
Bbm - - C7 - -
Hiding behind Mon-SAN-to’s plans
Bbm - - F# - -
To clone and to hone a devilish tone
C7 - - F - -
To poison the magic land


Dm Dm
Power to the pollinators!
C C
Mother Father Earth Cre-A-tors
Bb Bb
Leydy Pech oh please
A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb / A A Bb Bb
Let us love the bees ----- love the bees------- love the bees -----

En las fértiles tierras de Campeche,Mexico
Una mujer Maya, llamada Leydy Pech
Transformarse en la reina protectora de las abejas
Derrotando al espectro mortífero y su hoz
Que se ocultaba detrás
De los planes de Monsanto
Extendiendo y planificando un doliente monocultivo
para envenenar la tierra mágica

Fueron los protectores de abejas
que derrotaron al espectro
escondido detrás de los planes de Monsanto
De clonar y afilar
Un aspecto diabolico
En el centro del panal

Poder a los Polinizadores!
Madres, padres, de la tierra creadores
Leydy Pech,por favor
Dejanos dar, a las abejas amor—---------

Ella unió a la gente, abogados, campesinos
A los sabios ancianos y a las hijas de las abejas, cuidadoras

Su amor por la vida y defensa de la tierra
Mantuvieron la lucha, y fuerza a los testigos
Con la fuerza de la Naturaleza, a través de sus manos

¡Poliniza la evolución!
Fértiles pensamientos
Para acrecentar la solución
Sostiene nuestras tierras y cultura
Manos de miel
De la abeja conexión.

Muchas valientes almas suprimieron a Monsanto y su monopolio
sustituyendo “mono” con “muchos”
Y veneno con abundante vida
Hoy alimentamos los bosques
Y los campos con semillas nativas
Y esas abejas queridas
Vuelen alrededor a su gusto

Fueron los protectores de abejas
que derrotaron al espectro
escondido detrás de los planes de Monsanto
De clonar y afilar
Un aspecto diabolico
En el centro del panal
Poder a los Polinizadores!
Madres, padres, de la tierra creadores
Leydy Pech,por favor
Dejanos dar, a las abejas amor, a——a las abejas amor—-a las abejas amor.
