Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Recordando A Armando Sánchez by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.

We didn't put a date on it
por eso es que vivo agusto

el mundo da muchas bueltas
The world takes many turns
y yo de nada me asusto
And I'm not afraid of anything
con la muerte por un lado
With death on one side
todo el timepo me paseo
I stroll around all the time
no me gusta presumir
I don't like to show off
