They Dance Alone (gueca Solo) Lyrics

They Dance Alone (gueca Solo) lyrics

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 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

It's the only form of
protest they're allowed
I've seen their silent faces 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
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
Ellas danzan con los
muertos
Ellas danzan con amores invisibles
Ellas danzan con silenciosa
angistia
Danzan con sus padres
Danzan con sus hijos
Danzan 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
Dancin' with her invisible
son
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
