Desapariciones

Can someone tell me if they've seen my husband
Asked the lady
His name is Ernesto X, he's forty years old
Works as a guard in a car business
He was wearing a dark shirt and light pants
He left the night before last
And hasn't returned
And I don't know what to think anymore
Because this hadn't happened to me before

I've been looking for my sister for three days
Her name is Altagracia, same as grandma
She left work for school
She was wearing jeans and a light shirt
It wasn't her boyfriend
The guy is at home
They don't know about her at the PGSN or the hospital

Can someone tell me if they've seen my son
He's a pre-med student
His name is Agustín and he's a good boy
Sometimes stubborn in his opinions
He's been detained
I don't know what force
Light pants, striped shirt
He passed by the day before yesterday

Search in the water and in the bushes
(And why do they disappear?)
Because we're not all the same
(And when does the disappeared return?)
Every time the thought brings him back
(How do you talk to the disappeared?)
With the emotion squeezing inside

Clara, Clara, Clara Quiñones is my mother's name
She is, she is a soul of God
She doesn't mess with anyone
And they took her as a witness
For a matter that's only about me
And I went to turn myself in
This afternoon
And now they say they don't know who took her
From the barracks

Last night I heard several explosions
Boom, bang, boom, bang
Shotgun and revolver shots
Speeding cars, brakes, screams
Echo of boots in the street
Knocking on doors
By the gods, broken dishes
They were watching the soap opera
That's why no one looked outside

Search in the water and in the bushes
(And why do they disappear?)
Because we're not all the same
(And when does the disappeared return?)
Every time the thought brings him back
(How do you talk to the disappeared?)
With the emotion squeezing inside
