Why are there women here dancing on their own?Why is there this sadness in their eyes?Why are the soldiers hereTheir faces fixed like stone?I can't see what it is that they dispiseThey're dancing with the missingThey're dancing with the deadThey dance with the invisible onesTheir anguish is unsaidThey're dancing with their fathersThey're dancing with their sonsThey're dancing with their husbandsThey dance alone They dance aloneIt's the only form of protest they're allowedI've seen their silent faces scream so loudIf they were to speak these words they'd go missing tooAnother woman on a torture table what elsecan they doThey're dancing with the missingThey're dancing with the deadThey dance with the invisible onesTheir anguish is unsaidThey're dancing with their fathersThey're dancing with their sonsThey're dancing with their husbandsThey dance alone They dance aloneOne day we'll dance on their gravesOne day we'll sing our freedomOne day we'll laugh in our joyAnd we'll danceOne day we'll dance on their gravesOne day we'll sing our freedomOne day we'll laugh in our joyAnd we'll danceEllas danzan con los desaparecidosEllas danzan con los muertosEllas danzan con amores invisiblesEllas danzan con silenciosa angustiaDanzan con sus pardresDanzan con sus hijosDanzan con sus espososEllas danzan solasDanzan solasHey Mr. PinochetYou've sown a bitter cropIt's foreign money that supports youOne day the money's going to stopNo wages for your torturersNo budget for your gunsCan you think of your own motherDancin' with her invisible sonThey're dancing with the missingThey're dancing with the deadThey dance with the invisible onesThey're anguish is unsaidThey're dancing with their fathersThey're dancing with their sonsThey're dancing with their husbandsThey dance aloneThey dance alone
