      THEY ARE COMING and they are going

      And you see them passing by.

      They are walking over here,

      They are walking over there…

      These are the dead.

      How happy they are!

      VAN y vienen

      Y las ves pasar.

      Andan por ahí,

      Andan por allá...

      Son las calaveras

      Que felices están.

      HEY, I’m flying!

      Hey, I’m flying!

      The festival is so far away…

      The Day of the Dead is today.

      ¡VOY que vuelo!

      ¡Voy que vuelo!

      Ahí a lo lejos se ve el festejo…

      Hoy es Día de muertos.

      THEY’RE COMING and they’re going

      And you see them passing by.

      They’re dancing over here,

      They’re chatting over there…

      It’s their day

      And they’re going to have a good time.

      VAN y vienen

      Y las ves pasar.

      Bailan por ahí,

      Platican por allá…

      Es su día

      Y van a festejar.
