about

“Día de los Muertos”, a heartfelt tribute to the Mexican holiday known as ‘Day of the Dead’. The lyrics, in Spanish, are inspired by the beautiful traditions that involve storytelling, singing, dancing, ornate decor, offerings, parades and much more, all to celebrate and honor family members who have come and gone.

lyrics

Prende una vela y enciende el copal Cenizas y un poco de sal
Pon el pan dulce y algo de beber
Y recuerda los tiempos de ayer
Toma el retrato del que ya no esta Colócalo sobre el altar
Papel de colores, caminos de flores Y ofrendas para recordar
Que lindo, que lindo
Que vivan en nuestras memorias Que lindo, que lindo
Que celebremos sus historias
Hoy celebramos el Día de los Muertos Nos esperamos con brazos abiertos
Nuestros ancestros vamos a honrar Hoy es un día para celebrar
Es un legado a una generación Que siga en ellos esta tradición
Que lindo, que lindo
Que vivan en nuestras memorias Que lindo, que lindo
Que celebremos sus historias
Hoy celebramos el Día de los Muertos Nos esperamos con brazos abiertos
