[English]

They say if you saw

Death passing by your side

In a long Mercedes

It would bring you good luck

You've all come

Even my enemies

Today they weep

...

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

...

Over my coffin

KTMs burning rubber

Tears and rubber melt

Onto the wood

Gasoline and red wine

Cigars and chocolate

Dancing with love

On top of my corpse

Today we splurge

Defying fate

And what I didn't do in life

You do in my death

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

Throw magnolias on me

God descends

And I ascend

We meet

In the middle

A few knife wounds

Are what I took from life

She disarmed me

And I am grateful to her

And scatter brown sugar

Over my coffin

And stay awake

Until the light returns again

Promise that you'll protect me

Me and my name in my absence

I, who come from the stars

Today I turn to dust

To return to them

...

[Spanish]

Dicen que si vieras pasar

A tu lao la muerte

En la Mercedes la que es alargá

Te da buena suerte

Todos habéis venido

Hasta mis enemigos

Hoy lloran

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Sobre mi ataúd

Ktms quemando rueda

Lágrimas y goma se derriten

En la madera

Gasolina y vino tinto

Puros y chocolate

Bailando con amor

Encima de mi cadáver

Hoy se derrocha

Burlando la suerte

Y lo que no hice en vida

Lo hacéis en mi muerte

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Tírame magnolias

Dios desciende

Y yo asciendo

Nos encontramos

En el medio

Algún que otro navajazo

Me he llevado de la vida

Ella a mí me desarmó

Y yo le estoy agradecida

Y lanzad azúcar moreno

Sobre mi ataúd

Y quedaros despiertos

Hasta que vuelva otra vez la luz

Promete que me protegerás

A mí y a mi nombre en mi ausencia

Yo que vengo de las estrellas

Hoy me convierto en polvo

Pa' volver con ellas
