Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cruz De Madera by Miguel Y Miguel from Spanish to English.
Una cruz de madera de la mas corriente
A simple wooden cross
eso es lo qe pido cuando io me muera
That's what I ask for when I die
io no qiero lujos qe valgan millones
I don't want luxurious things worth millions
lo unico qe qiero es qe canten canciones
All I want is for songs to be sung
qe sea una gran fiesta la muerte de un pobre
Let it be a big party, the death of a poor man
io no qiero llantos, io no qiero penas
I don't want tears, I don't want sorrow
no qiero tristezas.. io no qiero nada
I don't want sadness... I don't want anything
lo unico qe qiero es alla en mi velorio
All I want is that at my wake
una serenta x la madrugada
There be a serenade in the early morning
cuando ia mi cuerpo este junto a la tumba
When my body is next to the grave
lo unico qe pido como despedida
The only thing I ask for as a farewell
qe en las cuatro esqinas de mi sepultura
Is that at the four corners of my burial site
como agua bendita qe rieguen teqila
They sprinkle tequila like holy water
io no qiero llantos, io no qiero penas
I don't want tears, I don't want sorrow
no qiero tristezas.. io no qiero nada
I don't want sadness... I don't want anything
lo unico qe qiero es alla en mi velorio
All I want is that at my wake
una serenta x la madrugada
There be a serenade in the early morning
