Mexican National Anthem - Himno Nacional Mexicano [English translation]

Mexicans, at the cry of war

Make ready the steel and the bridle

And let the earth shake to the core

At the roar of the cannon

And let the earth shake to the core

At the roar of the cannon

Gird, oh country, your head with an olive wreath

Given by the divine archangel of peace

Since your eternal destiny was written in heaven

by the finger of God

But should a foreign enemy

Profane your ground with their sole

Think, oh beloved country, that heaven

Has given you a soldier in every son

Dear homeland! Dear homeland!

Your children swear

To exhale breath in your cause

If the bugle in its belligerent (warlike) tone

Summons them to fight with courage

You will get the olive garlands!

They will have a memory of glory!

You will get a laurel of victory!

They will have a tomb of honor!
