Cuando Yo Me Muera

When I die I don't want you to cry
have a party with fireworks and flowers and
serve wine and bring mariachis to
sing my own songs

(chorus)
when I die take me to the hill
so they can wake me at the foot of an oak
don't use a coffin, use a mat and instead of
candles, bottles of wine

and if I die far from the love I want
send a letter and have them come right away
so they can kiss me as a farewell
when they leave me with the earth on top

-
when I die release doves
so my soul can fly on their wings
give permission in the town church
to ring the bells for me
