La Martiniana
Niña, cuando yo muera
No llores sobre mi tumba,
Cántame un lindo son
¡Ay mamá!
Cántame la sandunga.
Niña, cuando yo muera
No llores sobre mi tumba,
Cántame un lindo son
¡Ay mamá!
Cántame la sandunga.
No me llores, no, no me llores, no,
Porque si lloras yo peno,
En cambio si tú me cantas
Yo siempre vivo, yo nunca muero.
Lucero de la mañana,
El rey de todos los soles,
Canta sones alegres ¡Ay, mamá!,
Que alegren los corazones.
Lucero de la mañana,
El rey de todos los sones,
Canta sones alegres mamá!,
Que alegren los corazones
No me llores, no, no me llores, no,
Porque si lloras yo peno,
En cambio si tú me cantas
Yo siempre vivo, yo nunca muero.
Si quieres que te recuerde,
Si quieres que no te olvide,
Canta sones alegres , mamá!
Música que no muere.
Si quieres que te recuerde,
Si quieres que no te olvide,
Canta sones alegres , mamá!
Música que no muere.
No me llores, no, no me llores, no,
Porque si lloras yo peno,
En cambio si tú me cantas
Yo siempre vivo, y nunca muero
En cambio si tú me cantas
Yo siempre vivo, y nunca muero

The Martiniana
Oh girl, when I die
Don't cry over my tomb,
Sing me a beautiful song
Oh my love!
Sing to me the 'Sandunga'1.
Oh girl, when I die
Don't cry over my tomb,
Sing me a beautiful song
Oh my love!
Sing to me the 'Sandunga'.
Don't cry for me, no, don't cry for me, no
Because if you cry, I'll be filled with sorrow
Instead, if you sing to me
I will live forever, I'll never die.
Light of the morning2
The king of all of the suns,
Sing to me joyous songs, oh my love!
That will bring joy to the hearts of all.

If you want me not to forget you
Sing these joyous songs, my love!
Music that never dies.
