This song and video were created simultaneously during a three-month dissociative state caused by severe trauma at the end of 2018. Under the pseudonym 'Diamantina,' I released 'Mujer Caballero,' inspired by female saints, characters from the anime Saint Seiya.
This collage video incorporates imagery from anime, classical movies, and YouTube green screen resources, blending them together and hoping for the best, which, in the end, is what we are all doing in one way or another.
Lyrics in English:
I come from a horror story that doesn't scare me but it frightens you every time I tell it what a boring feeling... Could it be the media’s fault?
I want to be a female saint, but with my face uncovered with my face uncovered, I go
I return to my deserted neighborhood, walking in the middle of the dark square, all surrounded by dogs what a pleasant feeling... Could it be my lack of fear that helps me achieve what I want?
like a female saint, like an honorable warrior
I want to be a female saint, but with my face uncovered and let the sun shine down on me.
I want to be a female saint, but with an open heart with my face uncovered, I go.
Letra en Español:
Vengo de un cuento de terror que no me da miedo pero a vos te asusta cada vez que yo lo cuento que aburrido sentimiento… ¿Será culpa de los medios?
Quiero ser una mujer caballero, pero a rostro descubierto a rostro descubierto voy
Vuelvo a mi barrio desierto caminando al medio de la plaza oscura, toda rodeada de perros que agradable sentimiento… ¿Será mi falta de miedo lo que me ayude a alcanzar lo que quiero? como mujer caballero, como honorable guerrero
Quiero ser una mujer caballero, pero a rostro descubierto y dejar que me pegue el sol.
Quiero ser una mujer caballero, pero a a corazón abierto a rostro descubierto voy.

I come from a horror story that doesn't scare me
but it frightens you every time I tell it
what a boring feeling...
Could it be the media’s fault?
I want to be a female saint, but with my face uncovered
with my face uncovered, I go
I return to my deserted neighborhood, walking in the middle
of the dark square, all surrounded by dogs
what a pleasant feeling...
Could it be my lack of fear that helps me achieve what I want?
like a female saint, like an honorable warrior
I want to be a female saint, but with my face uncovered
and let the sun shine down on me.
I want to be a female saint, but with an open heart
with my face uncovered, I go.
