I originally wrote this song for my hometown, Ciudad Juárez, but the performance of this video is dedicated to the students who have lost their lives in mass shootings, to the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa, to the youth and children who have been been victims of police brutality and to the parents who must endure the pain of loosing a child and raising children in violent cities.

translation:
the air smells
like someone died
light up a candle my child
don’t be late Estelita
the night will reach you
and I won’t see you again
more than twenty times
the bird has been frightened
the soul can’t bear
the transit of the lifeless
faces
don’t look my child,
for your own good
let me tell you instead
about the day when everything
was green
you ran and i didn’t seek
i didn’t need to know where you were
let me tell you instead
about eternal dreams,
about a wind that crosses through the fences,
about the love I have for you
my child, life will go well, you’ll see, life will go well
the air smells
like someone died
close the door, my child
i don’t want to hear the rite
of the shotguns that dance
and make you fall
let me tell you instead...
my children, life will go well, you'll see, life will go well
