Day of the Dead

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY GRANDMA TOOK ME TO THE CHURCH 

SHE SAID WE’RE GOING TO EXPIRE OUR SIN 

THERE WAS A LONG QUEUE OUTSIDE 

EVERYONE WITH A LITTLE BAG FULL OF MONEY

THEY WEAVE IT LIKE A FLAG


I ASK WHAT’S THE MONEY FOR 

GRANDMA SAYS GOOD JESUS, GOOD LORD 

I’LL GIVE IT TO THE FATHER, HE SAYS SON

YOU’RE FREE TO GO 


SO DON’T YOU WORRY DEAR MOTHER 

I’VE ALREADY PAY THE FATHER 

TO SAY MY NAME

ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD 


BROTHERS AND SISTERS

TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL DAY WE’RE HERE TO CELEBRATE

OUR TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD

FIRST OF ALL I’LL LIKE TO THANK GOD

FOR THIS BLESSED AND LOVED COMMUNITY


QUITE QUITE, CHILDREN QUITE

THEY CAN HEAR YOUR BREATH

SILENCE SILENCE 

STAY SILENCE 

SHUT YOUR HEART AND SING


DON’T YOU WORRY DEAR MOTHER 

I’VE ALREADY PAY THE FATHER TO SAY MY NAME 

ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD

BUT I SAW NO LIGHTS

I HAD NO REST I’M JUST A STAR

ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD


JESUS, JESUS, WHY DON’T YOU SAVE MY SOUL

JESUS, I’VE GOT MONEY, WHY DON’T YOU INTRODUCE ME TO THE LORD
