A Mi Modo

In My Own Way

A Mi Modo

In my own way I have lived lifeA mi modo he vivido la vida
To live it there is no written methodPa' vivirla no hay método escrito
In my own way I have made mistakesA mi modo he cometido errores
But from them I learned a littlePero de ellos aprendí poquito
I have learned to cry in lifeHe aprendido a llorar en la vida
And also to enjoy it beautifullyY también a gozarla bonito

In my own way I have led lifeA mi modo he llevado la vida
That's how I plan to keep leading itAsí pienso seguirla llevando
In my own way I learned from womenA mi modo aprendí de mujeres
Little by little they were teaching mePoco a poco me iba enseñando
Sometimes enjoying with themUnas veces gozando con ellas
And other times crying for themY otras veces por ellas llorando

In my own way let my burial beA mi modo que sea mi sepelio
Serve tequila and beerQue se sirva tequila y cerveza
Let the northern and banda music playQue me toque el norteño y la banda
Let no sadness be seen on any faceQue en ninguna cara se vea la tristeza

Let them sing me beautiful songsQue me canten canciones bonitas
And in my own way be my farewellY a mi modo sea mi despedida
Wherever I go, I will leave contentQue a dónde yo vaya yo me iré contento
For having lived life in my own wayPor haber vivido a mi modo la vida

In my own way I would like to tellA mi modo quisiera decirles
My parents how much I adore themA mis padres cuantos los adoro
And I'm not ashamed to say itY que no me avergüenza decirlo
When I think of them, I cryQue cuando de ellos me acuerdo lloro
They are my greatest wealthEllos son mi riqueza más grande
My mother is a diamondMi madre es diamante
My father is goldMi padre es de oro

In my own way let my burial beA mi modo que sea mi sepelio
Serve tequila and beerQue se sirva tequila y cerveza
Let the northern and banda music playQue me toque el norteño y la banda
Let no sadness be seen on any faceQue en ninguna cara se vea la tristeza

Let them sing me beautiful songsQue me canten canciones bonitas
And in my own way be my farewellY a mi modo sea mi despedida
Wherever I go, I will leave contentQue a dónde yo vaya yo me iré contento
For having lived life in my own wayPor haber vivido a mi modo la vida
