20 Mujeres

I ask that when I die
Please don’t cry for me
Just play the band for me
And sing this song for me

Friends and family
Please sing it for me
And keep singing songs
Until we reach the graveyard

20 beautiful women
Will carry me to the grave
All dressed in black
Surrounding my coffin

Some cry out of sadness
Others from true pain
Some, if I’m not mistaken
Are crying over money

When they’re burying me
Don’t feel sorry for me
Sing Gabino Barrera
And also El Toro Rabón

My beloved little valley
A town that I hold dear
It’s a little remote village
In the state of Guerrero

20 beautiful women
Will carry me to the grave
All dressed in black
Surrounding my coffin

Some cry out of sadness
Others from true pain
Some, if I’m not mistaken
Are crying over money
