A song - Dying of Plena

Posted by Death Café A Coruña on Jan. 25, 2015, 5:24 p.m.




This song is by Uruguayan musician, Ruben Rada.
This song describes how he wants his funeral.
Some friends have translated the lyrics of the song for you, I hope you like it.

A clarification, the Plena is a musical rhythm of Puerto Rico

Dying of Plena

When I die I don’t want tears or sadness

On my funeral I prefer people dancing a lovely Plena,

And if I don’t die it’s not a problem,


Because I have plenty of time to dance until I die,

I don’t want people dressed in black, 
I prefer my in-laws in red

And I want chicken and rice at my grave, 
goat shanks and melon,

Because I’ve been happy in my life
I want to die eating partridge.

But with red wine and bread, ton!
But with red wine...
But with red wine and bread, ton!
But with red wine...

When I die, when I die

I would want to die, die from Plena.


Have a good day!
