Cuando yo me muera,
enterradme con mi guitarra
bajo la arena.
Cuando yo me muera,
entre los naranjos
y la hierbabuena.
Cuando yo me muera,
enterradme si queréis
en una veleta.
¡Cuando yo me muera!

Mememto
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
When I die,
bury me with my guitar
under the sand.
When I die,
between the orange trees
and the peppermint.
When I die,
bury me, as you wish,
on a weather vane.
When I die!
