Mi Despedida

When I die
Let me leave this world
I don't want sadness
I don't want tears

I want all
My friends to gather
And at the foot of my coffin
Put many flowers

And if I happen to die
Far from my land
To my friends
I want to ask

To take my remains
There with mine
Because next to them
I want to continue

And when I arrive
To my beloved land
Receive my body
And let the band play

I don't want sadness
And my promised one
Ask for the songs
That I liked the most

I want an evening
With a norteño group
Singing songs
To the guests

And let everyone toast
For my farewell
And dedicate to me
Heavy corridos

When they go to throw
The dirt over me
I want bottles of wine and cognac
To keep me in check for a pass to glory
To see if Saint Peter lets me in
