Today I’m gonna talk (TAUK) to you about “el día de los muertos”.
It’s the Mexican
version (VERDJEN) of the “day of the deads”. Mexico is a country (CAWNTRI) in Central America (EMÈRIKE), the (DI) official (OFICHEL) language (LÈNGWÈDJ) is Spanish and most of the people who (HOU) live (LIV) there are catholics (CASOLICS). It may sounds crazy but people have a party every year (from October thirty-first (SERTI-FERST) to November second) to remember their beloved (BILOVD) ones (WANS) who (HOU) passed (PAST) away. And this has been going-on for almost 3 thousands years ! Mexican people make some altars (ALTERS) : they put (POUT) a picture of the deceased (DICISD) on top of the altar (ALTER), then they put some personal (PERSONEL) belongings (BILONGINGS), a little incense, some candles (KÈNDELS), some sugar skulls (SKELS) also known as “« calaveras », and also make « papel picado ». It’s a decoration cut (KET) out of paper in the shape of a skull (SKEL). They also drink a lot of tequila. I totally agree, is it even (IVEN) possible to have a great (GRÈT) party without (WIZAWT) drinking (DRINKING) tequila ? They even (IVEN) go to graveyards (GRÈVYARDS) and dance on the graves, they throw (SROW) flower petals (PITELS) and light some candles (KÈNDELS) still in order to honor their relatives’ (RILÈTIVS) souls (SOLS) and lead them (DÈM) to their (DÈR) graves.
