Guadalajara, Guadalajara!
Guadalajara, Guadalajara!
You have a provincial maiden's soul
perfumed of pristine morning rose
and green rockrose fresh from the river.
A thousand doves form your hamlet.
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
freshly watered earth is your flavor
Oh, faraway Colomitos
Oh, little eyes brothers of the water
Oh, unforgettable Colomitos
Unforgettable like the evenings
when the rain from the hill used to
make us have to go to Zapopán.*
Oh! Tlaquepaque, little hamlet
The full aroma from your pitchers
make sweet tepache taste cooler,
for the barbecue next to the mariachis
that play melancholic music
next to the pottery houses and markets
GO CHIVAS!!! 1
Oh, Lagoon of Chapala
Magic like the magic of tales
Of remarkable twilights and daybreaks
Of moonlit nights in love
Serene Chapala is your lagoon
Romantic sweetheart like no other
Oh, beautiful Guadalajara
I would like to tell you something
You who preserve water from wells
Your women, the most beautiful
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
You have the most Mexican of souls
Ay, ay, ay!
Ay, ay, ay!
Guadalajara, Guadalajara!
