When I die
I want from you
One of your kisses, and a
flower crown, my dear
Don't cry, my darling
that I bring you with me
and in this bed of love
I die, dancing
We all carry inside us
A death which accompanies us
Which appears when the night
comes, and the sun goes down
We all carry inside us
A death which accompanies us
Which appears when the night
comes, and the sun
Health and life
for our deceased
Sugar skulls, my black
funeral sky
And black stars
I bring you sweet comfort
With our grandmothers and grandfathers
I die dancing
You are with me
in each kiss
and in each verse
I feel your voice, my dear
And although time passes
I want from you
A bit of your
memory and body
We all carry inside us
A death which accompanies us
Which appears when the night
comes, and the sun goes down
We all carry inside us
A death which accompanies us
Which appears when the night
comes, and the sun
Health and life
for our deceased
Sugar skulls, my black
funeral sky
And black stars
I bring you sweet comfort
With our grandmothers and grandfathers
I die dancing
(It's not enough for justice to come late
Justice which isn't exercised when appropriate is already injust
For justice to come late)
Health and life
for our deceased
Sugar skulls, my black
funeral sky
And black stars
I bring you sweet comfort
With our grandmothers and grandfathers
I die dancing [x3]
I die dancing
