Why are these women here, dancing on their own.
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?E]
Why are the soldiers here, their faces fixed like stone?
I can’t see what it is that they despise.
Chorus
Dancing with the missing, dancing with the dead.
They dance with the invisible ones, their anguish is unsaid.
Dancing with their fathers, dancing with their sons.
Dancing with their husbands, they dance alone.
They dance alone.
Part Two
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 the torture table, what else can they do?
Chorus
Dancing with the missing, Dancing with the dead.
They dance with the invisible ones, their anguish is unsaid.
Dancing with their fathers, dancing with their sons.
Dancing with their husbands, they dance alone.
They dance alone.
Chorus 2
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.
Part Three
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
Part Four
Hey Mister 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 tortures, no budget for your guns.
You think of your mother, dancing with her invisible son.
Chorus
Dancing with the missing, Dancing with the dead.
They dance with the invisible ones, their anguish is unsaid.
Dancing with their fathers, dancing with their sons.
Dancing with their husbands, they dance alone.
They dance alone.
Chorus 2
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
And we’ll dance, and we’ll dance
