Recuerdenme Así

I didn't plan to die
I had many goals to achieve
I challenged the world, enjoyed living
And another path I have to follow
Now it's me who has to leave
But here I look at you to keep going
With that joy that I always gave you
And another bottle to ask of you

Remember me like this
With a drink
Toasting at the party
I don't want
You to cry in my absence
Serve the drinks
Toast to me

Remember me like this
I don't want sadness
I don't suffer, I have no more sorrows
And let no one be upset
To see me like this
I want a party

Let the band play
Let the norteño music play
I don't want wakes
Let the fire ignite
Bring the bottles
Let the chaos begin
Like when I was here

I don't want to see you
Crying and upset
Keep drinking
That's my last drink
Let the band play loud
At my burial
I want to leave
Happy and content
Remember me like this

(And this one goes to you, dear friend
Up to the sky
Your Recoditos, let's go)

Remember me like this
With a drink
Toasting at the party
I don't want
You to cry in my absence
Serve the drinks
Toast to me

Remember me like this
I don't want sadness
I don't suffer, I have no more sorrows
And let no one be upset
To see me like this
I want a party

Let the band play
Let the norteño music play
I don't want wakes
Let the fire ignite
Bring the bottles
Let the chaos begin
Like when I was here

I don't want to see you
Crying and upset
Keep drinking
That's my last drink
Let the band play loud
At my burial
I want to leave
Happy and content
Remember me like this
Remember me like this
