La Mortaja (original)La Mortaja (translation)
Cuando tu te mueras when you die
No te llevas nada you do not take anything
Unas bellas flores some beautiful flowers
Tambien la mortaja also the shroud
Por que la pelona why the bald
No respeta nada does not respect anything
A pobres y a ricos To poor and to rich
Se los va llevando she is taking them
Entre carcajadas… between laughter...
El rico avariento the rich miser
Que guarda el dinero who keeps the money
En cheques y acciones In checks and stocks
Joyas y terrenos Jewels and land
Es bueno que afloje It's good to loosen up
Que ayude a su hermano Help your brother
Pues nada se lleva Well, nothing takes
Mientras muchos niños While many children
No han desayunado… They haven't had breakfast...
(Coro) (Chorus)
Cuando tu te mueras when you die
Tocaran campanas they will ring bells
Te diran responsos they will tell you answers
De tarde y mañana in the evening and in the morning
Y a los pocos dias And a few days
Te habran olvidado they will have forgotten you
Mientras se reparten while they share
Yernos y parientes Sons-in-law and relatives
Lo que tu has dejado… What you have left...
Cuando tu te mueras when you die
No te llevas nada you do not take anything
Ni el novillo gordo Not even the fat steer
Ni las finas joyas Nor the fine jewels
Solo la mortaja… Just the shroud...
(Hablado) (spoken)
Esa seda que rebaja tus procederes cristianos That silk that lowers your Christian behavior
Obra fue de los gusanos que labraron su mortaja Work was of the worms that carved their shroud
Tambien en la region baja la tuya han de deborar Also in the lower region yours must pay
¿de que te puedes jactar?what can you boast about?
y ¿en que tus glorias consisten? And what do your glories consist of?
Si unos gusanos te visten, y otros te han de desnudar… If some worms dress you, and others have to undress you...
De algunos patrones of some patterns
Se queja el obrero The worker complains
Unos son muy malos some are very bad
Otros son muy buenos others are very good
Menos gananciales Less profit
Menos dividendos less dividends
Pagando lo justo Paying what is fair
El justo salario the fair salary
Vivirian contentos… They would be happy...
(Coro) (Chorus)
Cuando tu te mueras when you die
Tocaran campanas they will ring bells
Te diran responsos they will tell you answers
De tarde y mañana in the evening and in the morning
Y a los pocos dias And a few days
Te habran olvidado they will have forgotten you
Mientras se reparten while they share
Yernos y parientes Sons-in-law and relatives
Lo que tu has dejado… What you have left...
Cuando tu te mueras when you die
No te llevas nada you do not take anything
Ni el novillo gordo Not even the fat steer
Ni las finas joyas Nor the fine jewels
Solo la mortaja…Just the shroud...
