Entierro Con La Banda

He wanted to know what it feels like
A burial with the band and
Hired a carriage from
Mr. Francisco Estrada
And I want my
Party friends to accompany me.

They did a rehearsal
Of a real burial
Many women
Cried sincerely for him
They played the song
Fistful of Earth.

They play the swallows
As they lower the coffin
And when they opened the box
Everyone burst out laughing
But what would be their surprise
That Don Pancho was
Dead.

And life is not a game
Friends, you can't.

They did a rehearsal
And a tragedy happened
They play the swallows
As they lower the coffin
And when they opened the box
Everyone burst out laughing
But what would be their surprise
That Don Pancho was dead.
