After my departure
Yo no quiero que me pase lo
I don't want what happened to me
Que paso'

Give it to me, give it to me
Que me lo den en vida

What's happening with my friends
Donde estan que ya no vienen
Where are they, why don't they come anymore
Sera' que ya me olvidaron
Maybe they already forgot me
Sera' que ya no me quieren
Maybe they don't love me anymore
Por eso lo que me vayan a dar
That's why what they're going to give me

Give it to me in life
Se algun reconocimiento
