Lyrics

If I Give Your Name
© 2001 Sandy O, Pat Humphries
Moving Forward Music, BMI
www.emmasrevolution.com

Mi esposa, my wife, worked on the 80th floor,
The company had hired illegals before
She got the job by word of mouth,
That’s the way in the north when you’re from the south
They say 3,000 but the counting’s not done,
Mi esposa esta muerta, Three thousand and one

Chorus: I have no papers, I have no rights
All my days end in sleepless nights
Missing you, silently, If I give your name
Will they come after me?

Mi hermano, my brother, the elevator man
A doctor in our country but you take what you can
I saw the photos in Union Square
But I could not leave his picture there
They say 3,000 but that’s not true
Mi hermano no volvera
Three thousand and two

Chorus

Mi hija, my daughter, went in early that day
She had always been that way
Her daughter asks, “Where did she go?”
How to tell her, I don’t know
They say 3,000 but that can’t be
Perdi a mi hija
Three thousand and three

Chorus

Mi padre, my father, I have no words
I tried to find you when I heard
They gave some ashes to families
But I’ll only have the ones I breathe
They say 3,000 there’s so many more
Desaparecidos
Three thousand and four

Chorus

Mi esposa, my wife. Will they come after me?
Mi hermano, my brother. Will they come after me?
Mi hija, my daughter. Will they come after me?
Mi padre, my father. If I give your name,
Will they come after me?
