Corrido De Un Pobre Mexicano

A poor Mexican who wrote humbly
In the name of some heroes I'm going to talk about
Their names are sacred, Francisco and Mendoza
Emiliano Zapata, here is their leader

Mendoza is the model of the leaders who operate
Throughout the south and center of Mexico at the same time
That's why in the states of Morelos and Puebla
There is order and respect for every good man

The leaders Marcelinos Rodríguez and Galindos
Espinoza and Caamaño, Baranda and Primosón
Ignacio Maya and others, Francisco and José Mozo
Eduardo and Cleofas Torres fought with courage

All Mexicans, long live! Long live Zapata!
Long live also Mendoza and all the others!
May the evil government of Victoriano Huerta die!
May it die or resign! We want peace now

For all the traitors who have been volunteers
Who accompany Huerta and all his squadron
We conquer them even though we are brothers
Know that here Zapata demands the invader

Justice demands them, detests the tyranny
Of the tyrannical government because it no longer rules
To the sound of bells, let's go to the ranks
All Mexicans who want freedom

The horns have whistled, morning awakens
Grant us this request, your holy blessing
You are the protective Guadalupe Virgin
For every son of Mexico who loves our nation

All Mexicans, long live! Long live Zapata!
Long live also Mendoza and all the others!
May the evil government of Victoriano Huerta die!
May it die or resign! We want peace now

Long live independence, long live freedom!
The Villa de Ayala plan that was made known!
May our homeland enjoy peace, tranquility
And the new reform resound everywhere

I offer a crown of blackbirds and roses
Jasmines and laurels, garlands, a thousand flowers
To the liberators of the new reform
A song to you I send here
