from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Rubén M. Campos

Madre mía cuando muera
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Nahuatl 
Madre mía cuando muera cuando muera
Sepúltame en el hogar sepúltame en el hogar
 
Madre mía cuando muera cuando muera
Sepúltame en el hogar sepúltame en el hogar
Y al hacer el pan espera y por mi ponte a llorar
Y por mi ponte a llorar
 
Y si uno en saber se empeña, en saber la causa de tu penar
La causa de tu penar
Dile que verde es la leña y el que el humo te hace llorar
Y el que el humo te hace llorar
