Morir cantando [English translation]

I want to die singing at dawn;

My couplet is ending already,

I'm going very far away and I won't come back.

My couplet is ending already,

I'm going very far away and I won't come back.

In spite of the fact that life is pure music,

It also is a struggle, it's full of pain as well;

And Death, who is such a traitor,

Never tells anyone: "I'm leaving with you".

And Death, who is such a traitor,

Never tells anyone: "I'm leaving with you".

Those tears from your eyes,

Those oceans of compassion...

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!

La ra la ra la la la...

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!

I'm begging you to not forget me, my love... My love!

For the grave

Is ruled by silence and there, the pain abates.

For the grave

Is ruled by silence and there, the pain abates.

That pilgrim's journey

Which was so long, which became fatal,

(I took it) so I could to leave my nest,

Abandon all singing and never, ever return.

(I took it) so I could to leave my nest,

Abandon all singing and never, ever return.

Those tears from your eyes,

Those oceans of compassion...

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!

La ra la ra la la la...

Don't lament my departure at all:

What I'm asking from all of you is acceptance!
