Cuando Me Muera

When I Die

Cuando Me Muera

The day I dieEl día en que yo me muera
let no one cry for me,que nadie llore por mí,
tears are salty waterel llanto es agua salada
and salt doesn't take root.y la sal no echa raíz.

Tears are salty waterEl llanto es agua salada
and salt doesn't take root.y la sal no echa raíz.

Throw me on my back to the fieldTirenme de lomo al campo
and open my eyes,y los ojos ábranme,
I want to keep lookingque quiero seguir mirando
at the sky I couldn't reach.el cielo que no alcance.

I want to keep lookingQue quiero seguir mirando
at the sky I couldn't reach.el cielo que no alcancé.

Let no one pray for my soulQue nadie rece por mi alma
and let no one beg to God,y que nadie ruegue a Dios,
I have no more thanksya no me quedan ni gracias
to pay that favor.pa pagar ese favor.

I have no more thanksYa no me quedan ni gracias
to pay that favor.pa pagar ese favor.
I'm walking slowly,Voy caminando despacio,
anyway, I'll get there.total, igual via llegar.

Life is not in a hurry,La vida no tiene apuro,
death knows how to wait.la muerte sabe esperar.
Life is not in a hurry,la vida no tiene apuro,
death knows how to wait.la muerte sabe esperar.

One day thinking about somethingUn día pensando en algo
I wanted to dream, and for what?quise soñar, y pa qué?
I had plenty of thoughtsMe sobraba pensamiento
but I couldn't find the dream.pero al sueño no lo hallé.

Throw me on my back to the fieldTirenme de lomo al campo
and open my eyes,y los ojos ábranme,
I want to keep lookingque quiero seguir mirando
at the sky I couldn't reach.el cielo que no alcancé.
