translate; " por el camino la Muerte, si te sorprende y andas en burro, andas de suerte" to english?

literally, it means " if on the way, death surprises you and you're riding a donkey, you're in luck"

I don't know what it means figuratively, I am Spanish but I have never heard it before.

If you're riding a donkey when the death arrives to you on the road, you're lucky.

It means that being poor (riding a donkey, not a horse) you have less to lose when your last day arrives.

You accept death more easily if you have less to lose. - i.e. supposedly, the poor die happier than the rich.

A person who does things the way it is supposed to be done in their marriage life. Etc. Full fill the family need to, be the leader of the house. Etc.

If a donkey kills you, go to the deaths' road, with luck.

I would agree with 13.

Along the way, if Death surprises you and you walk stupidly, you walk with luck"

Because my horse is dead, I'll have to reprimand you and steal your burro, that's for sure.

"By the way the Death, if it surprises to you and you walk in donkey, you walk of luck."

Sarah got it right.
