Corrido Soy Zaoatista Del Estado De Morelos

The song 'Corrido Soy Zaoatista Del Estado De Morelos' by Corridos Mexicanos is a powerful anthem that pays homage to the Zapatista movement, particularly in the state of Morelos, Mexico. The lyrics are a declaration of allegiance to the ideals of Emiliano Zapata, a key figure in the Mexican Revolution, and his Plan of Ayala, which called for land reforms and the rights of the rural poor. The repetition of the lines 'Soy zapatista del estado de morelos' emphasizes the singer's strong identification with the Zapatista cause and their commitment to ensuring that the promises made to the people are fulfilled, even if it means taking up arms.

The song also highlights the betrayal and mistreatment of the people, stating that the populace should not be deceived or treated with cruelty. The reference to being 'herederos de la paz y libertad' (heirs of peace and freedom) underscores the belief that the people of Morelos are rightful inheritors of these values, which were fought for during the revolution. This sentiment is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and the importance of honoring the sacrifices made by previous generations.

The lyrics pay tribute to the 'sublime general, patriota guerrillero,' a clear nod to Emiliano Zapata himself, who is revered for his loyalty and dedication to defending his homeland. The hope expressed in the song that the general's efforts will ultimately triumph 'por la gracia del ser supremo' (by the grace of the supreme being) reflects a blend of faith and determination. This combination of reverence for historical figures, a call to action, and a plea for divine support encapsulates the enduring spirit of the Zapatista movement and its relevance to contemporary struggles for social justice in Mexico.
