Why are these women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here?
Their faces fixed like stone.
I can't see what it is that they despise.
They're dancing with the missing,
They're dancing with the dead,
They dance with the invisible ones,
Their anguish is unsaid,
They're dancing with their fathers,
They're dancing with their sons,
They're dancing with their husbands,
They dance alone,
They dance alone…
The only form of protest
they're allowed,
I've seen their silent faces, they scream so loud
If they were to speak these words,
They’d go missing too,
Another woman on a torture table,
What else can they do?
They're dancing with the missing,
They're dancing with the dead,
They dance with the invisible ones,
Their anguish is unsaid,
They're dancing with their fathers,
They're dancing with their sons,
They're dancing with their husbands,
They dance alone,
They dance alone…
One day we'll dance on their graves,
One day we'll sing our freedom,
One day we'll laugh in our joy,
And we'll dance.
One day we'll dance on their graves,
One day we'll sing our freedom,
One day we'll laugh in our joy,
And we'll dance…
Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos,
Danzan con los muertos,
Danzan con amores invisibles,
Con silenciosa angustia,
Danzan con sus padres,
Con sus hijos,
Con sus esposos,
Ellas danzan solas,
Danzan solas…
Hey Mr. Pinochet
You've sown a bitter crop,
It's foreign money that supports you
One day the money's going to stop,
No wages for your torturers,
No budget for your guns.
Can you think of your own mother
Dancing with her invisible son?
They're dancing with the missing,
They're dancing with the dead,
They dance with the invisible ones,
They're anguish is unsaid,
They're dancing with their fathers,
They're dancing with their sons,
They're dancing with their husbands,
They dance alone,
They dance alone…
One day we'll dance on their graves,
One day we'll sing our freedom,
One day we'll laugh in our joy,
And we'll dance.
One day we'll dance on their graves,
One day we'll sing our freedom,
One day we'll laugh in our joy,
And we'll dance,
And we'll dance,
And we'll dance…
