Lyrics
Senorita Extraviada
words and music by Beth Scalet
© 2002 marais des cygnes music (bmi)
It's dangerous to be a woman down on the border
It's not safe to be a woman at the maquiladora
Going home through the desert you could meet el diablo
You could become senorita extraviada
Voices without echo, Steps without shadow
Women without faces
Extraviada
And who will find you, Who will avenge you
And who will stop it
Who bring a name to the
voices without echoes of the senoritas extraviadas
someone knows who is taking the women of Juarez
someone could stop it if only they weren't so afraid
in fifteen years nearly five hundred girls have gone missing
someone surely has seen but no one will say
Voices without echo, Steps without shadow
Women without faces
Extraviada
And who will find you, Who will avenge you
And who will stop it
Who bring a name to the
voices without echoes of the senoritas extraviadas
so to all the women who come to work near the border
seeking the good life up north and the bright city lights
watch your step when you're leaving the maquiladora
only the desert knows who walks in the heart of the night
Voices without echo, Steps without shadow
Women without faces
Extraviada
And who will find you, Who will avenge you
And who will stop it
Who'll bring a name to the
voices without echoes of the senoritas extraviadas
