Verse 1
I like parties and late nights
Or: I like parties and staying up late
Monday to Sunday and all week
I spend my time happy and enjoy life
Or: I enjoy myself and live life to the fullest
And I'll continue like this until my last day
I like the chaos, the ambience excites me
I'm happy like this, I don't fear death
I don't think about that, it's wasted time
Because nobody escapes our destiny
Chorus 1
That's why I take advantage of every moment
Because I'm aware that I'm not eternal
That's why I have fun at the party
And from time to time I join the craziness
Life is borrowed and we must enjoy it
However you like and feel like
Because the grim reaper has no respect
Or: Because death doesn't show respect
It takes everything, it grabs evenly
I want to be happy while the day comes
To dress in black my whole family
This line means that the speaker wants to be happy until the day comes when their entire family will dress in black to mourn their death
And I hope my last wish is fulfilled
Before I get in the hole
Or: Before I die
I don't want them to cry, I don't want their tears
Take banda music to my funeral
Give me craziness and a Buchanan's
In case there is another life to continue the party
And it's better to enjoy life, buddy
Because you don't know when it ends
Los Recoditos, listen up, let's go
Chorus 2
That's why I take advantage of every moment
Because I'm aware that I'm not eternal
That's why I have fun at the party
And from time to time I join the craziness
Life is borrowed and we must enjoy it
However you like and feel like
Because the grim reaper has no respect
It takes everything, it grabs evenly
I want to be happy while the day comes
To dress in black my whole family
And I hope my last wish is fulfilled
Before I get in the hole
I don't want them to cry, I don't want their tears
Take banda music to my funeral
Give me craziness and a Buchanan's
In case there is another life to continue the party

SONG MEANING

Mi Último Deseo is a high-energy banda anthem where Banda Los Recoditos transform the fear of death into an invitation to fiesta. Throughout the lyrics, the singer proudly lists his favorite pastimes – parties, late nights, and a good bottle of Buchanan’s – and reminds us that life is on loan, so every moment deserves to be enjoyed at full volume. He accepts that La Huesuda (a popular Mexican nickname for Death) takes everyone sooner or later, so instead of worrying he chooses to laugh, drink, and dance while he still can.

The heart of the song is the singer’s “último deseo,” his last wish: when his time comes, he wants no tears, only the joyous sound of banda music at his funeral, plus enough whisky for the crowd to keep the party going and for him to continue the revelry in whatever afterlife awaits. The message is clear and contagious: celebrate today, because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
