Like a longing stare made in Sonora
Dressed with the sea of Cozumel
With the color of the sun throughout the whole body
This is how you carry Mexico in your skin
Like a good tequila of this earth
Or like a friend from Yucatán
And in Aguascalientes undone
Or a wool knit in Teotitlán
This is how Mexico feels, this is how you feel Mexico
Like lips upon your skin
Like so Mexico wraps you up,
this is how Mexico tastes
And this is how you carry Mexico in your skin
Like watching the Sierra of Chihuahua
Or watching artisans in San Miguel
To climb the hill of la silla
This is how you carry Mexico in your skin
Like accompanying yourself with mariachi
To make that song weep
In the south they play with marimba
And in the north with accordion
This is how Mexico feels, this is how you feel Mexico
Like lips upon your skin
Like so Mexico wraps you up,
this is how Mexico tastes
And this is how you carry Mexico in your skin
Like a good sarape from Saltillo
Like a homecoming in Veracruz
With the excitement of a kiss face to face
This is how you carry Mexico in your skin
Like contemplating the Caribbean sea
Discovering beautiful dawn
Having the fresh breeze of Morelia
The moon caressing a woman
This is how Mexico feels, this is how you feel Mexico
Like lips upon your skin
Like so Mexico wraps you up,
this is how Mexico tastes
And this is how you carry Mexico in your skin
