Dia De Los Muertos icon 'La Catrina' inspired this dark waltz

lyrics

(Translation below...)

Estoy enamorado de La Catrina
Pero ella no sabe lo que siento
Estoy cantando por ti Catrina
Por que quiero verme como ella

Estoy mirando a mi Catrina
Pero puede ella verme sin dos ojos
Estoy pensando en ti Catrina
Y mis pies quieren bailar a Mexico

Catrina, La Catrina
Calavera Señorita
Catrina, La Catrina
Si yo me muero, estaría contigo

ah-oo-ah

Si un día nos encontramos Catrina
Y bailamos con las flores en su cabeza
Si un día estoy tan flaca, una calavera
Murreria una señora muy feliz

Si caminamos por las calles del cielo
O nos sentamos en las nubes con los ángeles
Te pederia que volvieras conmigo
Porque la muerte es lo que traye la vida

Catrina, La Catrina
Calavera Señorita
Catrina, La Catrina
Si yo me muero, estaría contigo

TRANSLATION

I'm in love with "La Catrina"
But she doesn't know how I feel
I'm singing about La Catrina
Because I want to look like her

I'm looking at La Catrina
But can she even see me without eyes?
I'm thinking of you La Catrina
And my feet want to dance all the way to Mexico

CHORUS
Catrina, La Catrina
Little skull mistress
Catrina, La Catrina
If I die, I would be with you

If one day we meet, Catrina
And we dance with the flowers on your head
If one day I got as skinny as a skeleton
I would die a happy dead lady ...then

If we walked the streets of heaven
Or sat in clouds with the angels
I would ask you to return to earth with me
Because it is death that brings us life

CHORUS
