Translation of the song lyrics Un Entierro Sin Llorar - Tierra Cali

Un Entierro Sin Llorar (original)

Cuando me muera no quiero
Que me tengan compasión
Nacimos para morirnos
Cuando me muera no quiero
Que me tengan compasión
Nacimos para morirnos
Eso lo buscó mi Dios
No quiero cohetes ni flores
Ni una tumba especial
Tan solo quiero señores
Un entierro sin llorar
Que se reunan las mujeres
Que me amaron de verdad
Me dan un beso de despedida
Porque su hombre ya se va
Cuando me estén sepultando
No quiero verlos llorar
Porque al pasar de los años
De mi no se acordarán
Que me entierren en mi tierra
Tierra que me vio nacer
Quiero estar junto a mis padres
Para volverlos a ver
No quiero cohetes…

(translation)

When I die I don't want
pity me
We were born to die
When I die I don't want
pity me
We were born to die
That was what my God looked for
I don't want rockets or flowers
Not a special grave
I just want gentlemen
A burial without crying
Let the women gather
that they really loved me
give me a goodbye kiss
Because her man is already leaving
When they're burying me
I don't want to see them cry
Because as the years go by
They won't remember me
bury me in my land
Land that saw me born
I want to be with my parents
to see them again
I don't want rockets...
