It's all soul's day
I hear you say
It's all soul's day
And you've come to pray
For the lost ones
The unadorned ones here today
El Dia de Los Muertos
El Dia de Los Muertos
Bailamos, bailamos
El santo y yo
Kiss the bride
Dance with me
Come rattle these bones
Come and shake my tree
Embrace me--irreverently
Now in marigolds
Shower me
There is more time than life
One never dies twice
There is more time than life
One never dies twice
Wearing wet suits sewn in the underworlds
Death comes shining
In a thousand bright colours
And music out of this world
Serenates to a bony twirl
Me lleva el diablo
La muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica del otro mundo
Buenos noches y adios
Hasta luego mis amigos
See you in heaven
See you in hell
All will be level all will be well
Bailamos, bailamos
El santo y yo
Me lleva el diablo
la muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica del otro mundo
I hear you say
It's all soul's day
And you've come to pray
For the lost ones
The unadorned ones here today
El Dia de Los Muertos
El Dia de Los Muertos
Bailamos, bailamos
El santo y yo
Kiss the bride
Dance with me
Come rattle these bones
Come and shake my tree
Embrace me--irreverently
Now in marigolds
Shower me
There is more time than life
One never dies twice
There is more time than life
One never dies twice
Wearing wet suits sewn in the underworlds
Death comes shining
In a thousand bright colours
And music out of this world
Serenates to a bony twirl
Me lleva el diablo
La muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica del otro mundo
Buenos noches y adios
Hasta luego mis amigos
See you in heaven
See you in hell
All will be level all will be well
Bailamos, bailamos
El santo y yo
Me lleva el diablo
la muerte va de viaje
Esta es musica del otro mundo

For those who don't know... El dia de los Muertos (The day of the Dead) is a celebration that occurs in Mexico around late October or early November. The Xantalo is a dance often associated with this holiday. The quetzal is a group of birds native to Central America that have long feathers on their tails, and these feathers are often used in the headdresses of Aztec and Mayan priests. In Aztec folklore, there are eight underworlds.
Also, here's an English translation of the Spanish lines in the penultimate verse: The devil carries me The voyage of death This is music from another world Goodnight and good bye See you later my friends
