Muerte English translation

I give thanks to Death
For teaching me to live
For inviting me out
Revealing my fortune
Grabbing my hand
Give me life
Saving me from evil
As I cling to the present

This war inside me dies
I am reborn grateful
This war inside me dies
I am reborn
grateful

I give thanks to the flowers
to the scent of jasmine
For inviting me to the garden
The place where I offer my sorrows
I drink the liquors
Like potions sacred to the Earth
The pain is finally buried
And I surrender to joy

I may not know who I am
But only by falling I can find out
I may not know who I am
but not fall
Not to fall terrifies me.

Death, by having faced death
Today I walk forward
with faith and my soul alight
Death, by greeting death.
Today I'm holding the love.
That is reborn in me forever.

Reed palm trees.
The beaches of Veracruz
They gave strength to me
the light that I had lost
I became mineral dust
I became millions of stars.
And the sky that I discovered today
It lifts me full of grace

I danced so gratefully
That I offered my death to god
I danced so gratefully
That I offered my death
to god

Death, by having faced death
Today I walk forward
with faith and my soul alight
Death, by greeting death.
Today I walk forward
with faith and my soul alight

Death, by having faced death
Today I walk forward
with faith and my soul alight
Death, by greeting death.
Today I am holding the love.
That is reborn in me forever.

I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully
That I offered my death
to god

I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully.
That I offered my death
to god

I danced, I danced, I danced so gratefully
That I offered my death
I offered my death to God

I give thanks to life
I give thanks to Death
For Teaching Me how to live.

I give thanks to Death
