La Fiesta Lyrics in English Pedro Capó

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pedro Capó / La Fiesta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Fiesta by Pedro Capó from Spanish to English.

I drank, I smoked, I fell in love

I messed up, I stepped in

I took two shots, I meditated

I gave myself the hug and the coffee

I got a pain from I don't know what

I looked for the cause on the internet

It says that I'm going to die of something

And that it's not from laughter

When I go, that nobody cries for me

Buy wine, I don't want flowers

With all I've walked, nobody has told me

I deserve the nap

And to my friends that they don't cry for me

Buy wine, don't bring flowers

If I'm going to die only once

I deserve the party

And the train left

Several stumbles on the road

But I did well

I lived, I fulfilled my destiny

I was what I dreamed

I don't say goodbye, my friends, I'll be back again, hey

Because

Good people aren't buried, they're planted

Our contract is a rental contract

I don't sleep, I just take a nap

That way the eyes rest and the soul wakes up

When I go, that nobody cries for me

Buy wine, I don't want flowers

With all I've walked, nobody has told me

I deserve the nap

And to my friends that they don't cry for me

Buy wine, I don't want flowers

If I'm going to die only once

I deserve the party

Good people aren't buried, they're planted

Our contract is a rental contract

Good people aren't buried, they're planted

Good people good people

No no no don't cry for me

Lots of wine, I don't want flowers

With all I've walked, nobody has told me

I deserve the nap

To my friends, that no, don't cry for me

Buy wine, don't bring, don't bring flowers

If I'm going to die only once

I deserve the party, hey

I deserve the party

Door is open

Come in, come in

Have a good time, f*ck

SONG MEANING

La Fiesta is Pedro Capó’s joyful reminder that life, with all its stumbles and triumphs, is meant to be celebrated. The Puerto Rican singer lists his own ups and downs — drinking, smoking, falling in love, messing up — yet keeps coming back to one simple conclusion: every experience is worth a toast. Instead of fearing the end, he jokes about googling his symptoms, shrugs, and asks his friends to skip the tears, ditch the flowers, and bring wine.

Capó paints life as a short-term lease, where “la gente buena no se entierra, se siembra” (good people aren’t buried, they’re planted). Even death becomes an excuse for one last party, because he’s already lived his dreams and earned a well-deserved siesta. The song’s upbeat rhythm and witty lyrics invite listeners to laugh at their mistakes, love loudly, and throw a fiesta whenever they can — after all, we only get one round on the dance floor.
