Son de Difuntos - Lila Downs

Estaba sentada la parca

Fumándose de su tabaco

Con los santos se discutía

Quien se echaba su último trago

Con los santos se discutía

Quien se echaba su último trago

Se fue a su chili copal

Como que vas del camino

Yo me llevo a tu hija santa

Si no pones en mi al tardino

Yo me llevo a tu hija santa

Si no pones en mi el tardino

Ese muerto si, ese muerto no

Que el muerto aquí ya se escogió

Que el diputado y el alacrán

Por corrupción los enterraran

Esa muerta si, esa muerte no

Esa muerta aquí ya se enterró

La profesora y esa araña

Por negligencia las enterraran

Vela vela vela dora

Ese misterio tu manto

Dame vela vela veladora

Que mi difunto vega gozando

Vela vela vela dora

Ese misterio tu manto

Dame de la veladora

Que mi difunto vega gozando

La pelona prendió su tele

Para ver la telenovela

El tlatuani con sus con pinches

A la patria se la alborean

El tlatuani con sus con pinches

A la patria se la alborean

Tamales y chocolate

Porque pide dulce y salado

Por ese camino de flores

Que la ofrenda te esta esperando

Por ese camino de flores

Que la ofrenda te esta esperando

Ese muerto si, ese muerto no

Que el muerto aquí ya se escogió

Que el diputado y el alacrán

Por corrupción los enterraran

Esa muerta si, esa muerte no

Esa muerta aquí ya se enterró

La profesora y esa araña

Por negligencia las enterraran

The Grim Reaper was sitting

smoking his tobacco

With the saints she argued

Who had his last drink

With the saints they discussed

Who had his last drink

She went to her chili copal

How are you going from the road?

I'm taking your holy daughter

If you don't put in me the tardy

I'm taking your holy daughter

If you don't put the tardy on me

That dead man yes, that dead man no

That the dead here have already been chosen

That the deputy and the scorpion

For corruption they will be buried

That death yes, that death no

That dead woman here is already buried

The teacher and that spider

Due to negligence they will be buried

candle candle dora

That mystery your cloak

Give me candle candle candle

May my deceased vega enjoying

candle candle dora

That mystery your cloak

Give me the candle

May my deceased vega enjoying

The little girl turned on her TV

to watch the soap opera

The tlatuani with his with spikes

The homeland is dawned

The tlatuani with his spikes

The homeland is dawned

Tamales and chocolate

Because she asks for sweet and salty

down that path of flowers

That the offering is waiting for you

down that path of flowers

That the offering is waiting for you

That dead man yes, that dead man no

That the dead here have already been chosen

That the deputy and the scorpion

For corruption they will be buried

That death yes, that death no

That dead woman here is already buried

The teacher and that spider

Due to negligence they will be buried
