Son de Difuntos

Here comes death!¡Ahí viene la muerte!

The grim reaper was sittingEstaba sentada la parca
Smoking his tobaccoFumándose de su tabaco
With the saints we discussedCon los santos se discutía
Who took his last drinkQuien se echaba su último trago

Who took his last drinkQuien se echaba su último trago

He went to his chili copalSe fue a su chili copal
As if you are on the right trackComo que vas del camino
I'll take your holy daughterYo me llevo a tu hija santa
If you don't put wine on my altarSi no pones en mi altar vino
I'll take your holy daughterYo me llevo a tu hija santa
If you don't put wine on my altarSi no pones en mi altar vino

That dead man yes, that dead man noEse muerto si, ese muerto no
That the dead person here has already been chosenQue el muerto aquí ya se escogió
That the deputy and the scorpionQue el diputado y el alacrán

That dead one yes, that dead one noEsa muerta si, esa muerta no
That dead woman has already been buried hereEsa muerta aquí ya se enterró
The teacher and that spiderLa profesora y esa araña
They will be buried due to negligencePor negligencia las enterrarán

May my deceased come enjoying himselfQue mi difunto venga gozando
