Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Recuérdenme Así by Banda Los Recoditos from Spanish to English.
Yo no planeaba morir
I didn't plan to die
Tenía muchas metas por conseguir
I had many goals to achieve
Desafiaba al mundo, gozaba vivir
I challenged the world, enjoyed living
Y otro camino me toca seguir
And now I have to follow another path
Ahora soy yo el que tiene que partir
Now it's me who has to leave
Pero acá los miro pa poder seguir
But I see you all here to keep going
Con esa alegría que siempre les di
With that joy that I always gave you
Y otra botella poderles pedir
And to ask for another bottle
Recuérdenme así
Remember me like this
Brindando en la peda
Toasting at the party
Que lloren mi ausencia
You to cry for my absence
Que se sirvan los tragos
Serve the drinks
Que brinden por mí
Toast for me
Recuérdenme así
Remember me like this
Como era no quiero tristeza
As I was, I don't want sadness
Yo no sufro no tengo más penas
I don't suffer, I have no more sorrows
Y que nadie se agüite
And let no one get upset
Por verme así
To see me like this
Yo quiero una fiesta
I want a party
Que suene la banda
With the band playing
Que suene el norteño
With the northern music playing
No quiero velorios
I don't want wakes
Que se arme el refuego
Let the fire ignite
Que traigan botellas
Bring bottles
Que se arme el desmadre
Let the chaos begin
Como cuando estaba yo aquí
Like when I was here
No quiero mirarlos
I don't want to see you
Llorando aguitados
Crying and feeling down
Que sigan pistiando
Keep drinking
Ese es mi último trago
This is my last drink
Que truene la banda
Let the band play loudly
Macizo en mi entierro
Solid at my funeral
Que quiero marcharme
I want to leave
Contento y feliz
Happy and content
Recuérdenme así
Remember me like this
(Y esta va para ti querido amigo
(And this one goes to you, dear friend
Hasta el cielo
Up to the sky
Tus recoditos, amonos oiga)
Your recoditos, let's go, listen)
Recuérdenme así
Remember me like this
Brindando en la peda
Toasting at the party
Que lloren mi ausencia
You to cry for my absence
Que se sirvan los tragos
Serve the drinks
Que brinden por mí
Toast for me
Recuérdenme así
Remember me like this
Como era no quiero tristeza
As I was, I don't want sadness
Yo no sufro no tengo más penas
I don't suffer, I have no more sorrows
Y que nadie se agüite
And let no one get upset
Por verme así
To see me like this
Yo quiero una fiesta
I want a party
Que suene la banda
With the band playing
Que suene el norteño
With the northern music playing
No quiero velorios
I don't want wakes
Que se arme el refuego
Let the fire ignite
Que traigan botellas
Bring bottles
Que se arme el desmadre
Let the chaos begin
Como cuando estaba yo aquí
Like when I was here
No quiero mirarlos
I don't want to see you
Llorando aguitados
Crying and feeling down
Que sigan pistiando
Keep drinking
Ese es mi último trago
This is my last drink
Que truene la banda
Let the band play loudly
Macizo en mi entierro
Solid at my funeral
Que quiero marcharme
I want to leave
Contento y feliz
Happy and content
Recuérdenme así
