I was born Mexican
by the grace of God,
and I say it proudly
wherever I find myself.
Nothing else exists in the world
that can compare
with my beloved Mexico
because it is truly one of a kind.
With the blood of its men
Mexico was able to become
before the whole world:
a liberated country.
For Mexico there exists
no tyrant nor oppressor,
we are free like the wind;
fate has made it so.
Oh my Mexico
how my heart adores you,
oh what pride I feel
to have been born beneath your sun.
Mexican women
don't kiss with just anyone,
and they only give their lives
for the one that their love belongs to.
When a Mexican gives
their word or their honor
they are willing to give their lives
in order to prove their worth.
To my land of Mexico
everyone is invited,
there is kindness for all
if they know how to value it
Willingly Mexicans
are true friends,
whereas at their worst
....
Oh my Mexico
how my heart adores you,
oh what pride I feel
to have been born beneath your sun.
