Mujer Indigena
Luchadora y emprendedora
fuerte y capaz,
mujer indigena de la tierra,
valiente y audaz.
Eres como el fénix que renace
de sus cenizas,
tus tradiciones
son de riquezas.
Con tu traje de hermosos colores,
tejido con las manos de los antecesores
mostrando una mujer guerrera
bailando al compás de la marimba.
Luchas por la igualdad,
brillas entre en la naturaleza,
mujer dedicada a la cultura,
mujer indigena de mi pueblo.
Velas por tus tradiciones
por tus costumbres
por tu familia
por tu idioma
por tu traje.
Amas y quieres,
Alzas tu voz al mundo
Mujer con valentía
Mujer que da amor
Al pueblo indígena.
