Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Veinte Mujeres by Lupillo Rivera from Spanish to English.
Pido que cuando yo muera
I ask that when I die
No me lloren por favor
Please don't cry for me
Que los dorados del norte
Let the Dorados del Norte
Me canten esta canción
Sing me this song
Amigos y familiares
Friends and family
Cántenmela con amor
Sing it to me with love
Y le sigan con corridos
And keep going with corridos
Hasta llegar al panteón
Until we reach the cemetery
Veinte mujeres hermosas
Twenty beautiful women
Al panteón van a llegar
Will arrive at the cemetery
Todas vestidas de negro
All dressed in black
Mi cajón va a rodear
Will surround my coffin
Unas lloran de tristeza
Some cry from sadness
Otras un dolor sincero
Others with sincere pain
Y otras si no me equivoco
And others, if I'm not mistaken
Le están llorando al dinero
Are crying for money
Cuando me estén sepultando
When they are burying me
No me tengan compasión
Don't have pity on me
Y que Don Pedro Rivera
And let Don Pedro Rivera
Me cante a mi una canción
Sing me a song
Yo soy Lupillo Rivera
I am Lupillo Rivera
Siempre apodado el Torón
Always nicknamed El Torón
Y pa' corridos perrones
And for badass corridos
Siempre fui yo el mas fregón
I was always the best
Unas lloran de tristeza
Some cry from sadness
Otras un dolor sincero
Others with sincere pain
Y otras si no me equivoco
And others, if I'm not mistaken
Le están llorando al dinero
Are crying for money
