Raquelita: So you'd like an explanation
Of the festive celebration
Where we honor all our loved ones long gone
Mama: On this day of recollection
We recall them with affection
And we share their stories so they live on
All: It's the Day of the Dead
Yes, on Día de Muertos
We celebrate the Day of the Dead
Papa: Then we build for them an altar
So they know our love won't falter
Mama: Filled with all their favorite objects and food
Raquelita: And it's not so shocking, is it
If the spirits come to visit
All: And they stay till all the revels conclude
On the Day of the Dead
Yes, on Día de Muertos
We celebrate the lives that they led
On the Day of the Dead
Yes, on Día de Muertos
We celebrate the Day of the Dead
