Mexico

The red sun stands in the sky
Dangerous like Aztec gold
The shadows of the conquistadors
They ride lost and never rest

High up in the Sierra Madre
You hear the dull beat of drums
Even if the old gods are silent
Since ancient times, they are at home here

You foreign land
Don't reveal your secret to anyone
You proud land
Built from love, blood, and tears

You were conquered a thousand times
And in the end, you still triumphed
And all those who wrote your destiny
Came to you and they stayed
Because they loved you

Mexico, Mexico
Mariachi plays the old song
And pours tequila
So no one stays sad and everyone sings

Mexico, Mexico
Where the flower of longing blooms
And where the hot wind
Sings the song of freedom in Mexico

And in the evenings on the avenues
The poor and the rich meet
The country wakes up from the siesta
The intoxication of a fiesta makes everyone equal at night

You beautiful land
Full of passion and honesty
You hot land
Where dreams burn too easily

Mexico, Mexico
Mariachi plays the old song
And pours tequila
So no one stays sad and everyone sings

Mexico, Mexico
Where the flower of longing blooms
And where the hot wind
Sings the song of freedom in Mexico

Mexico, Mexico
Mariachi plays the old song
And pours tequila
So no one stays sad and everyone sings

(Long live Mexico, Mexico)

Mexico, Mexico
Where the flower of longing blooms
And where the hot wind
Sings the song of freedom in Mexico

Mexico, Mexico

Long live Mexico!
Mexico!
