Spanish term or phrase: spanish translation: malinche
Triste recorro la casa grande en la que vivo desde hace cinco afios. Pienso que es una locura rebelarse contra los espafloles que son tan poderosos. Su em-perador Carlos reina sobre muchos paises. Ya la primera vez que vi a los blan-cos senti que iban a triunfar y que nuestras tradiciones, nuestra religion iban a desaparecer. ^Quien quiere volver a una epoca donde cada dia nuestros sa­cerdotes sacaban el corazön a los guerreros enemigos para ofrecerselo a Huit-zilopochtli o a Tezcatlipoca para dar nuevas fuerzas a los dioses? Pero cuando pienso que los espafloles tambien matan personas, en nombre de la Cruz, me da miedo su crueldad. ^Existe una diferencia entre lo uno y lo otro?

German translation:Malinche
Explanation:
Heroina o prostituta, depende del punto de vista... Es el nombre de esa indigena.

"La Malinche." Slave, interpreter, secretary, mistress, mother of the first "Mexican." her very name still stirs up controversy.

Many Mexicans continue to revile the woman called Doña Marina by the Spaniards and La Malinche by the Aztecs, labeling her a traitor and harlot for her role as the alter-ego of Cortes as he conquered Mexico.
