¿Que harás tú cuando mueras? [English translation]
¿Que harás tú cuando mueras? [English translation]
I can see myself clearly
Lying down in a great drawing room
Surrounded by people who weep and say nice things about me
So elegant without makeup
Tranquil and relaxed, I leave my body
and I take a walk around
Amidst flowers, ribbons of different colors,
and the aroma of incense, I hear the Lord's Prayer*
I hear people very quietly whispering the usual things
in these situations:
"What a nice girl she was; although
it's true that she was rather strange."
Finally I will be able to rest
from so much heartbreak, so many
disappointments, so much pain...
And go live under a big gray marble stone
and to read in my epitaph
a verbose inscription written by you....
What will you do when you die? What will you do?
Will you go take a walk around heaven
or will you burn in hell?
Tell me, what will you do when you die?
What will you do?
Will chains hang from you,
or will the sorrows and pains be all over?
What will you do?
And while you await for
the first of November to come,
you can come see me and bring me
some dry flowers,
[You can] cry a bit for me and pray
something like a rosary that may
secure me a place in heaven...
After all, I don't have it so bad here,
I know many people, and I don't fear death
What will you do when you die, what will you do?
Will you become a soul without a body
or just a pile of bones?
Tell me, what will you do when you die?
What will you do?
Will you be fertilizing mallow trees,
or will you reincarnate as a Tibetan lama?
What will you do?
