The author, Tlaltecatzin lived between 1,357 and 1,409 C.E. and resided in the Chichimec dominions of Texcoco at a time when Texcoco was becoming the center of culture and wisdom. He was called a "composer of songs." This is the only known song of Tlaltecatzin; it shows the

somewhere is its story;
with flowers is painted
The Giver of life, the community.
You have been left in your home,
you, Tlaltecatzin,
you suspire there, you speak."
