Colours are so bright

They shine in the night,

A beautiful scene

You could hardly believe,

Celebrations abound

There’s lots of love to be found,

Faces painted so well

It’s hard to tell,

Who’s alive and who’s dead

On the day of the dead.

Dia De Los Muertos,

The Mexican phrase

Celebrating those who’ve passed away,

Rather than mourn

They see a new dawn,

Knowing their loved ones

Are happy and safe.

The day of the dead

Requires no tears

The day of the dead

Shows there is nothing to fear

In the afterlife

With colours so bright

Lighting up the night

Celebrate

The day of the dead.
