AFAD SONG

 

DESAPARECIDOS

Here, yet not here

Nowhere yet everywhere

Asia’s beloved disappeared.

 

Dark skies above

Separated from those you love

Deprived of home and things that you hold dear.

 

CHORUS:

 

We’ll keep fighting on 

Till we find the truth 

Till we find justice

Desaparecidos

We’ll keep fighting on

To honor your memory

To comfort your family

And we will be with you once again.

 

When the day is done

We say a little prayer

May the One above us keep you safe.

 

Never lose hope

We’ll carry on in your absence

And fight with the strength that comes from our faith.

 

(REPEAT CHORUS 2x)

Editor’s Note:  Desaparecidos is the official theme song of the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAD).  It was launched during the 2005 commemoration of the International Day of the Disappeared, particularly during AFAD’s Solidarity Concert For An International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, entitled, “ Seeking.”
