Cuando Muere Una Dama
Vagon Chicano
When a Lady Dies
Listen up:
Pay attention, folks, I’ve got a request,
It might sound different, hearing it in my voice,
I’ll sing you my wishes,
As I lay in the grave,
And women die too,
So I want a celebration?
Singing:
I want one last party,
Right there at my funeral,
All those who loved me,
Will have to celebrate,
Remembering my smile,
And the way I cried?
I was a strong fighter,
Who fought for her kids,
Remember well that in life,
Their mother never backed down,
With her head held high,
Send her off with honor?
I want my norteño band,
And make sure it’s with tololoche,
Take a shot for me,
And throw in a few tunes,
The daughter of the town is gone,
The woman with the guts?
"And don’t cry for my people, just collect the royalties,
And my boys from the band, keep the party going"
To all my enemies,
Who tried to imitate me,
Your nightmare is over,
But you’ll always envy me,
I was always the favorite,
You could never catch up?
I had loves by the dozen,
I know they’ll miss me,
Those who kissed my lips,
Will savor the memory,
But the love of my life,
Is the one who’ll cry the most?
To my dear family,
My parents and my siblings,
I know that in the afterlife,
We’ll be together again,
To laugh and enjoy,
All the triumphs we had?
"And don’t miss me, my bosses,
Your rebellious daughter will live on forever"
I’m off to another concert,
I’m going to sing with Adan,
I’ve got a duet pending,
Over there with his dad,
Saul, and Selena,
They’ll welcome me too?
In my beautiful Playa Larga,
Let there be one last party,
Let my brothers sing for me,
My mother hand out flowers,
My father take pictures,
And my sister read my letter?
Drink tequila and beer,
Let the bands play loud,
Release butterflies for me,
Clap your hands for me,
Because that’s how they celebrate,
When a lady dies?
