-
- Paco is dying tonight--no one’s coming to see him
- Paco is dying tonight--no one mentions his name
- Two thousand miles from the Mexican border
- And a family in San Francisco del Oro
- But Paco is dying tonight--no one dares speak his name
-
- Ten years in this fine restaurant, Paco worked in the kitchen
- The sons of the family go north and send home their pay
- He taught himself English, took classes at college
- Someday he’d wait tables, get a few extra dollars
- But Paco is dying tonight--no one dares speak his name
-
- They say no “Ave Maria”, “que en pas descanse”
- “Adios mi compradre, nos veremos otra vez”
- Paco is dying--they’re calling it cancer
- But the fear in their eyes tells us we should know better
- Paco is dying tonight--no one dares speak his name
-
- Paco is dying tonight--no one here wants a scandal
- Maybe if we don’t speak it tonight, this will all go away
- But there’s knives in the kitchen, they can easily cut you
- He was everyone’s darling, who knows what he’d been up to
- Now Paco is dying tonight--no one dares speak his name
