Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Minuto Más by Grupo Legitimo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando yo me muera no quiero que lloren
When I die I don't want them to cry
Hagan una fiesta con cohetes y flores
Have a party with rockets and flowers
Que se sirva vino y que traigan los mariachis
Let wine be served and bring the mariachis
Para que me canten mis propias canciones
For me to sing my own songs
Cuando yo me muera me llevan al cerro
When I die they take me to the hill
Para que me velen al pie de un encino
So that they watch over me at the foot of an oak tree
En lugar de caja me pongan un petate
Instead of a box, put a petate
Y en lugar de velas botellas de vino
And instead of candles bottles of wine
Y si muero lejos del amor que quiero
And if I die far from the love that I want
Mandenle una carta y que venga enseguida
Send him a letter and have him come right away
Para que me bese como despedida
For him to kiss me goodbye
Cuando ya me dejen con la tierra encima
When they leave me with the earth on top
Cuando yo me muera que suelten palomas
When I die they release doves
Para que en sus alas se vaya mi alma
So that my soul goes on its wings
Que les den permiso en la iglesia de mi pueblo
That they give them permission in the church of my town
Para que repiquen por mi las campanas
So that the bells ring for me
Y si muero lejos del amor que quiero
And if I die far from the love that I want
Mandenle una carta y que venga enseguida
Send him a letter and have him come right away
Para que me bese como despedida
For him to kiss me goodbye
Cuando ya me dejen con la tierra encima
When they leave me with the earth on top
