Cuando Yo Me Muera

When I Die

Cuando Yo Me Muera

When I dieCuando yo me muera
I would like my wooden crossQuisiera mi cruz de madera
To be remembered as I wasQué me recuerden como yo era
Not to give up at the firstQué no me rajé a la primera

They bury meMe dan sepultura
When they feel me lostYa cuando me sientan perdido
And may my friends not be missingY que no falten mis amigos
So they can make me feel alivePara que me hagan sentir vivo

The women I adored, may they not miss meLas mujeres que adore qué no me extrañen
If I was so important, don't fail meSí fui tan importante no me fallen
My mother's words I never forgetLas palabras de mi madre nunca olvido
If I die, her advice goes with meSi yo muero sus consejos van conmigo

I don't care about the woodLa madera no me importa
Or the land where I end upNi el terreno donde quede
Don't cry for me because thatNo me lloren porque eso
Is what hurts meEs lo que me duele

They have a drinkSe toman un trago
To the health of the bastard and vagabondA salud del cabrón y vago
What I started one day, I finish anotherLo un día empecé un día lo acabo
The time to leave has comeLa hora de marchar se ha llegado

They will carry DoloresLlevarán Dolores
Among bottles of liquorEntre botellas de licores
Rightly so, I was the lover of manyCon razón era el mil amores
Because I cut many flowersPorque recorte muchas flores

The women I adored, may they not miss meLas mujeres qué adore qué no me extrañen
And if I was so important, don't fail meY sí fui tan importante no me fallen
My mother's words I never forgetLas palabras de mi madre nunca olvido
If I die, her advice goes with meSi, yo muero, sus consejos van conmigo

I don't care about the woodLa madera no me importa
Or the land where I end upNi el terreno donde quede
Don't cry because thatNo lloren que eso
Is what can hurt meEs lo que me puede
