In Spanish we have the cognate "nacer" but that IS just "to be born" as a verb, what connotations does nascere have?

私が夫に死なれた

"my husband died", but this is in passive, so if you mangle it into how English expresses passive it becomes "my husband died me". This is perfectly acceptable in Japanese.
