Mis Tres Caciones

My Three Songs

Hug me and kiss me, my beloved wife
Because very soon I will die
That's why I ask you to be affectionate
I want to go to the grave content and happy

I entrust my children to you when they grow up
Tell them their father couldn't do it
That death came and I couldn't warn them
That I'm leaving forever, never to return

Don't wear mourning clothes, I don't want you to cry
I don't want you to pray for me, just a prayer
I just want you to put a bouquet of flowers
With your hands on my coffin

And when the procession leaves with my body
Let the band play with a joyful sound
Long live my misfortune and you go, my angel
Also, poor neighborhood, that's my song

I feel that life is ending for me
Death is haunting me, I don't know who I am anymore
I leave you a memory, my beloved wife
I take your kisses wherever I go

Tell my children that when they get married
To love their wife like I love you
Life is enjoyed as time passes
And in the end, everything ends here

Don't wear mourning clothes, I don't want you to cry
I don't want you to pray for me, just a prayer
I just want you to put a bouquet of flowers
With your hand on my coffin

And when the procession leaves with my body
Let cowboys play with a joyful sound
Long live my misfortune and you go, my angel
Also, poor neighborhood, that's my song
