Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Me Lo Den En Vida by El Gran Combo from Spanish to English.
Lo que me vayan a dar
Whatever that they're going to give me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
No vayan a esperar
Don't go and wait
Después de mi partida
After my departure
Yo no quiero que me pase
I don't want it to happen to me
Lo que le pasó a Daniel
What happened to Daniel
Al maestro Pedro Flores
To maestro Pedro Flores
Y al glorioso Rafael
And to glorious Rafael
Lo que me vayan a dar
Whatever that they're going to give me
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Cantante de los cantantes
Singer of singers
Mi amiguito Hector Lavoe
My little buddy Héctor Lavoe
Desde su lecho de enfermo
From his sickbed
Una vez me pregunto
Once he asked me
Que pasa con mis amigos
What's up with my friends
Donde están que ya no vienen
Where are they that they don't come anymore
Será que ya me olvidaron
Could it be that they've already forgotten me
Será que ya no me quieren
Could it be that they don't love me anymore
Lo que me vayan a dar
Whatever that they're going to give me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Si algún reconocimiento
If any recognition
Mañana me piensan dar, ay
Tomorrow they plan to give me, ay
Si creen que me lo merezco
If they think that I deserve it
Porque no dármelo ya
Why not give it to me now
Esperen que yo me muera
Wait till I die
Para ir al campo santo
To go to the graveyard
A decir que bueno era ese hombre
To say how good that man was
Si que era un santo
Yes, that he was a saint
Lo que me vayan a dar
Whatever that they're going to give me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Yo quiero que me quieran
I want them to love me
Y que me digan cosas lindas
And to tell me sweet things
Y que mi vida la bendigan
And to bless my life
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Y mi gente cariño me llevaré
And, my people, I'll take your love with me
Cuando llegaré el día de mi despedida
When the day of my farewell arrives
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Si no me van a dar un homenaje
If they're not going to give me a tribute
Que no sea muy tarde
Let it not be too late
Pues después que muera me olvida
Because after I die they'll forget me
Que me lo den
Let them give it to me
Que me lo den en vida
Let them give it to me while I'm alive
Que me lo den enseguida
Let them give it to me right away
Y a ti también Maria
And to you too, Maria
Y a nuestro hermanito
And to our little brother
También lo merecía
He deserved it too
