La Martiniana

Girl, when I die
Don't cry over my grave
Sing me a sweet song, mama
Sing me the sandunga

I hope to see the morning
The king stopped his sounds
Sing the Martiniana, mama
That soothes the hearts

Don't cry for me, no
Don't cry for me, no
'Cause if you cry, I suffer

But if you sing to me
I’ll always live, I’ll never die
But if you sing to me
I’ll always live, and never die

If you want me to remember you,
If you want me to keep you in mind,
Sing the songs of the soul, mama
Music that never dies.

Don't cry for me, no
Don't cry for me, no
'Cause if you cry, I die

But if you sing to me
I’ll always live and never die
But if you sing to me
I’ll always live, I’ll never die.
