Mimi y El Canto de La Vida

Do you know what the Day of the Dead is?
It's a day filled with love and memories
Flowers, songs and candles too
We celebrate life, come see it true!

The Moon lights up the fields and sea
Children smile, joyful to be
With candles and flowers they start to walk
A night of love begins to talk

In Mexico they say with sweet emotion
The soul returns with its devotion
No fear, no tears, just vibrant hue
For memories are painted in love so true

Orange flowers guide the way
With their fragrance reaching the sky's array
Bread and sugar, water and salt
Await the souls in peaceful halt

Children learn with dedication
That honoring life is a true lesson
Remembering with laughter, singing without fear
Is celebrating the love once near

The little skulls don't want to scare
They smile softly to stay and share
Every drawing, every disguise
Speaks of life, of peace, of skies

At night a colorful altar glows
Full of light and the scent of rose
And among the stars you can hear afar
Mimi singing to the sky and the sea
Song of life, of love and peace!
