A celebration of many bloodlines

Colors bursting and hearts breaking apart

Remembrance of loved ones with divine shrines

Decorating every corner of Mexico with wreath

Happiness as a mask in order to shield grief

Winter enters with the colors of leaf

Death, one who eternally welcomes us

With a devious smile and outstretched arms

From elderly, to young, to boy, to girls

Death entices them to follow him to his charm

Day of Dead a love-hate relationship

Love for the deceased and lost kinship

Hatred for the boldness of Death to harm

Death enthroned with the crown of loath and shame
