People put out candles and offerings of food and drink for their departed loved ones, and used scary jack-o-lanterns, bells and other protective symbols to ward off evil spirits. This tradition was eventually absorbed by the Catholic Church and became &#8220;Allhallowtide&#8221;: the three days from October 31- November 2 known as All Hallow&#8217;s Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.<\/p>\n<p>The Dia de los Muertos festival in Mexico developed from ancient traditions and was originally celebrated in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar (about the beginning of August) for the entire month. When the Spanish colonized Latin America, Dia de los Muertos was shortened to three days and moved to coincide with Allhallowtide, so that it is now also celebrated from October 31 &#8211; November 2. <\/p>\n<p>This playful animated music video illustrates the &#8216;escueletos&#8217; (skeletons&#8217;) adventures as they rise from their tomb, eat, drink, dance and play, and then return to their rest at the end of the day. Below are lyrics for the song &#8220;Los Esqueletos&#8221; as I sing it in class. These lyrics are slightly different from the lyrics in the video. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CYyRibaMQoA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\nLos Esqueletos<\/ul>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca la una<br \/>\nlos esqueletos salen de la tumba<\/p>\n<p>(tumba, tumba, tumba-ba, tumba, tumba, tumba-ba)<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las dos<br \/>\nlos esqueletos salen comen arroz<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las tres<br \/>\nlos esqueletos van al reves<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las cuatro<br \/>\nlos esqueletos marchen al teatro<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las cinco<br \/>\nlos esqueletos pegan un brinco<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las cinco<br \/>\nlos esqueletos se pegan un brinco<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las seis<br \/>\nlos esqueletos juegan ajedrez<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las siete<br \/>\nlos esqueletos se montan en cohetet<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las ocho<br \/>\nlos esqueletos comen bizcocho<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las nueve<br \/>\nlos esqueletos cantan y beben<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las diez<br \/>\nlos esqueletos se bailan a la vez<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las once<br \/>\nlos esqueletos corren veloces<\/p>\n<p>Cuando el reloj marca las doce<br \/>\nlos esqueletos descansan por la noche<\/p>\n<ul>\nTranslation <\/ul>\n<p>When the clock strikes one<br \/>\nthe skeletons come out of the grave.<br \/>\nAt two, they eat rice.<br \/>\nAt three, they hang upside down.<br \/>\nAt four, they go to the theatre.<br \/>\nAt five, they jump up and down.<br \/>\nAt six, they play chess.<br \/>\nAt seven, they ride a rocket.<br \/>\nAt eight, they eat cake.<br \/>\nAt nine, they sing and drink.<br \/>\nAt ten, they dance all together.<br \/>\nAt eleven, they run fast.<br \/>\nAt twelve, they go to bed for the night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Hallowe&#8217;en \/ Feliz Dia de los Muertos!
