Cempasúchil Fire in the Streets

The drums wake up

The avenue

Feet on the pavement

Hearts shining through

Windows swing open

Children run near

Tonight the whole town has no fear

Oh, light the path home

With flowers and song

We move together

Strong and alone

Oh, light the path home

With flowers in song

The whole town sings as we roll along

Brass in the air

Like a silver flare

Accorded air

Laughing everywhere

Congas are calling

The güiro glows

Every doorway blooms, everybody knows

Oh, light the path home with flowers and song

We move together, strong and long

Oh, light the path home, with flowers and song

The whole town sings as we roll along

Hand to hand, we raise the night

Lanterns dancing warm and bright

From the market corner to the hilltop gate

Love leads us home, we celebrate

Oh, like the back home of flowers and song

We move together, strong and long

Oh, like the back home with flowers and song

The whole town sings as we roll along

Hey!

Flowers and song

Hey!

Hey

Flowers and sun
