Suenen Guitarrones

I am very happy
Long live life and long live joy
And once and for all
Let the feeling die

Let a mariachi play for me
A thousand songs
To cheer up my soul
And fill me with illusions

Run, run through my veins
These veins that my body has
Instead of pure blood
It's fire that burns me
That's why
I have the soul of a brave one
And in the face of death itself
My life is full of songs

Let them accompany me
All the mariachis
Let their guitars play
Harps and big guitars
Because on their strings
I want to leave engraved
The most beautiful notes
Of all my songs

To say goodbye
I want to ask
All my friends
To go to my grave
There when I die
Instead of flowers
Sing me the songs
That are like prayers
Pleadings from my land

Let them accompany me
All the mariachis
Let their guitars play
Harps and big guitars
Because on their strings
I want to leave engraved
The most beautiful notes
Of all my songs
