San Pedro

Solo le pido a San Pedro
 que si me lleva pa' allá,
Me deje seguir cantando
 sin mandarme a callar (bis)

Yo oi que si uno se muere
 asi sin saber por qué,
el cuerpo se queda abajo
 y el alma sube después

Solo..

Entonces yo me pregunto:
  si canto de corazón,
Que si cuando yo me muera
  se morirá mi canción

Solo..

Si el canto sale de adentro
  Yo lo siento bien aquí
Será que sale del alma
  Cuando uno se va a morir?

Solo..

Yo no pido muchas cosas,
  pero El tiene que entender
Que cantar me gusta mucho
  y es lo unico que se hacer

Solo..

Yo le prometo a San Pedro
  que si me deja cantar,
Le alegro la muerte a todos
  por toda la eternidad.

St. Peter

The day St. Peter opens
the pearly gates for me
I will only ask him
to take my voice with me.

I heard that when we die
without knowing how or why
our body stays down here
and our soul moves on to heaven.

Then I wonder
if I sing from my heart
What will happen to my song
Once this no longer beats.

Or, since my song comes from within me,
as I feel it deep inside
does it come from my soul,
as I'm about to die?

I don't ask for many things
but He has to understand
that singing is my love,
the only thing I know.

I will promise to St. Peter
that if He lets me sing,
I will make their deaths happier
for all eternity.
