DEATH

“Death is part of life and they both exist together. Everything that is alive at some point will cease to be alive. When you are close to nature it becomes even more evident. Lately we have lived times that have shown us this part and it is usually very painful to make it part of your life. In my case I realized that perhaps as a human being, I will continue to have small deaths as long as I live, since everything is cyclical, and nothing stays in the same place. This album was conceived in a time when I felt broken, fractured, and little by little I was reborn. Just as winter opens its way to life and spring. In this song I thank death for teaching me how valuable life is. ” - Natalia Laforcade.

  • I give thanks to Death
    for teaching me to live
    for inviting me out
    revealing my fortune
    Grabbing my hand
    giving me life
    saving me from evil
    as I cling to the present.

    This war inside me dies, I am reborn grateful
    This war inside me dies, I am reborn grateful.

    I give thanks to the flowers
    to the aroma of jasmine
    for inviting me to the garden
    the place where I offer my sorrows
    I drink the liquors like potions
    sacred to the Earth
    the pain is finally buried
    and I surrender to joy.

    I may not know who I am,
    but only by falling I can find out
    I may not know who I am, then
    not to fall terrifies me.

    Death, by having faced death
    today I walk forward with faith and my soul alight
    Death, by greeting Death
    today I am holding the love that is reborn in me forever.

    Reed palm trees
    the beaches of Veracruz
    they gave strength to the light
    that I had lost
    I became mineral dust
    I became millions of stars
    and the sky that I discovered
    Today it lifts me full of grace.

    I danced so gratefully that I offered my death to God
    I danced so gratefully that I offered my death to God
    Death, by having faced death
    today I walk forward with faith and my soul alight
    Death, by greeting Death
    today I am holding the love that is reborn in me forever
    Death, by having faced death
    today I walk forward with faith and my soul alight
    Death, by greeting Death
    today I am holding the love that is reborn in me forever.

    I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully.
    I give thanks to life, I give thanks to Death for teaching me how to live.
    I give thanks to Death for teaching me how to live.
