Light a candle and ignite the copal
Set out the sweet bread and something to drink
And remember the times of yesterday
Take the portrait of the one who's gone
Colored paper, paths of flowers
And offerings to remember
That they live on in our memories
That we celebrate their stories
Today we celebrate the Day of the Dead
We wait for each other with open arms
We're going to honor our ancestors
Today is a day to celebrate
It is a legacy for a generation
That this tradition continues in them
That they live on in our memories
That we celebrate their stories
Today we celebrate the Day of the Dead we
We wait for each other with open arms
