You can find this song and others by Tish Hinojosa at her website, www.mundotish.com and at other places such as iTunes and Amazon.
This is one of my favorite Tish songs.

MANOS, HUESOS Y SANGRE
(Hands, Bones and blood)
(Waltz for Frida Kahlo)
By Tish Hinojosa

Manos y huesos y sangre sería,
Pero el corazón no muere.
Miles palabras en quieto pincel
Dueña y escalavade dos.

Ojos que sirven de espejo
Pasión y dolor y placer
Cara y disfraz que aparace
Esos fracasos de ayer

Madre de sueños y quien te dira
Toda mujer sueña igual
Aguila inquieta cadenas cairán
Frida es tu descanso en paz?

Crumbling hands, bones and blood will be gone;
Something in the heart lives forever.
Thousand words painted by love's broken stroke.
Master and slave, you were both.

Eyes serving as our own mirror
Of passion and pleasure and pain,
Costume and face of a story
Bearing that yesterday's stain).

Mother of dreams who could dare to predict
Women would dream by your name?
Restless, the eagle still chained by the wing.
Frida, are you sleeping in Peace?
