Son de Difuntos
Lila Downs
Deadly Sounds
Here comes death!
The grim reaper was sitting
Smoking his tobacco
With the saints we discussed
Who took his last drink
With the saints we discussed
Who took his last drink
He went to his chili copal
As if you are on the right track
I'll take your holy daughter
If you don't put wine on my altar
I'll take your holy daughter
If you don't put wine on my altar
That dead man yes, that dead man no
That the dead person here has already been chosen
That the deputy and the scorpion
They will be buried for corruption
That dead one yes, that dead one no
That dead woman has already been buried here
The teacher and that spider
They will be buried due to negligence
Candle, candle, candle holder
That mystery your cloak
Give me a candle, candle, candle
May my deceased come enjoying himself
Candle, candle, candle holder
That mystery your cloak
Give me the candle
May my deceased come enjoying himself
The bald girl turned on her TV
To watch the soap opera
The tlatuani with his cronies
The homeland is being played for fun
The tlatuani with his cronies
The homeland is being played for fun
Tamales and chocolate
Because it asks for sweet and salty
Along that path of flowers
That the offering is waiting for you
Along that path of flowers
That the offering is waiting for you
That dead man yes, that dead man no
That the dead person here has already been chosen
That the deputy and the scorpion
They will be buried for corruption
That dead one yes, that dead one no
That dead woman has already been buried here
The teacher and that spider
They will be buried due to negligence
