Que nadie a llorar

The day I die
let no one cry.
Let whoever truly loves me
get drunk.
I always wanted in life to receive
what they were going to give me.
Let my friends uncork
a bottle of wine
for anyone who wants to toast
for the end of a road
where nothing is missing.

I like to sing for fun
let no one tell me otherwise.
Stretch out with my feet together
and sing my heart out
and feel the deep pinch
of a tuned guitar.
And the smile of a child
who doesn't fall asleep
because they want to hear you
it moves me
and I sing my heart out.

My life is like water
that springs from the source.
it gets lost in the mountains
and never looks back
I'm a drop in a river that passes
I want to be one more.
I'm not water in a glass
mine is not the calm
I like freedom
I want to be a passing turtledove
born to fly.

I like to see the face
of a true friend
in good times and bad
and it hurts me
when someone stabs me in the back
in good times and leaves in bad.
Women, good wine
the lark with its song
the nap and its awakening
I like it when destiny takes me
wherever it wants to take me.

Let a guitar strum
leave my ashes
among the olive and grapevine
let me be greeted
by the song of the cicada.
