She wriggles to the rhythm Softly moves her feet Swaying to a rumba And a bossanova beat A picture of her boy Clutched tightly to her chest No dancing competition But a dangerous protest 'Ellas danzan solas' But she's not the only one Dancing with the missing A father, husband, son A prisoner of their politics The General's heard to say His killers come with smiles To take their lives away Hear their silent voices Not a word to say to you Only dancing is allowed Else they go missing too With soldiers watching closely Lest her motives become known She dances there, a wordless prayer La Gueca Solo, they dance alone
