Los Lobos
 Malaqúe
 (David Hidalgo/Louie Pérez)



 Tell me please Dear Malaqúe
 Why have our loved ones gone away
 Left with nothing much to say
 Only the warm place where they lay
 On the way to the ruby king

 Malaqúe what do we do
 Now there's only me and you
 Can we begin our lives anew
 After all that we've been through
 On this day of the ruby king

 We have worked so hard to find
 What is yours and what is mine
 How does one become so blind
 And forget what is divine
 In the world of the ruby king

 Malaqúe oh Malaqúe
 Where have our friends all gone today
 Gone without a word to say
 Only the beds where they once laid
 Left to rest with the ruby king
 Gone away to the ruby king
