Si Yo Me Muero Mañana [English translation]

If I die tomorrow, I don't want you to cry for me

don't send me flowers either, better go to "bacilar"

that I have screwed up enough and gotten in 50 messes

And I, I'm not any saint for you to start crying

That if tomorrow you die I will go to the 'disco'

To 'bacilar' to the songs you used to like to dance

Ask God our dad that if he sends for me

That if I can stay a little bit longer

That I want to stay a little bit longer

And if anything happens to me tell my mom* not to suffer so much

That I was no saint that better go to the bank

That if I am totally broke* when I die

To check my account that suposedly I have left quite a bit

And you tell the 'lady'

To always remember me

Each time she goes to get drunk*

But since I am not dead I am still alive and kicking

We'll go on "vacilando" drinking and smoking

But do things right to me and don't think to whom*

To those alive greetings to the dead that rest underneath me*

Travelling around the world in an steel bird

You don't understand any of this and listen how I bury it*?

If tomorrow my life already lived is over

Go and explain to my children and give them my farewell

If tomorrow it's my turn go and tell the eldest

That I don't know what I want wanting but from the other life* ?

And if death comes to get me

Tell her to come later not that

I am a coward

But the truth is that I would like to stay

La la la life is good but too short

Na na nothing of the drama everybody gets

Asking is the farewell no doubt about it*?

Since the welcome dosn't last long last long

Sickness without cure one is borne to live

One lives to later die

That I have to take advantage of life

Before death comes to get me

That's why I live the day of today

In case I die tomorrow

As if it were my last day.

If I die tomorrow (firs, second, and third stanzas repeat)
