cruz de madera [English translation]

A cross of wood of the cheapest kind.

That is what I ask, when I die

I do not want luxuries nor tables of Adobe

don't want the box that cost millions

the only thing I want is song sung

a big party for the death of a poor man

I don't want tears, I don't want pains

I don't want sadness, I don't want nothing

The only thing I want is at my wake

a serenade, in the early morning

Music

When my body is in the tomb

the only thing I ask, to say goodbye

is that at the four corners of my coffin,

Like holy water, the tequila flows.

I don't want tears, I don't want pains

I don't want sadness, I don't want nothing

The only thing I want is at my wake

a serenade, in the early morning
