Hijo de Cortés

Don't call me a son of Cortés
Or of Aguirre or Pizarro
We are distant relatives
Or in any case, as closely related
As an Italian
To Caligula or Nero

Don't call me a son of Cortés
Don't confuse people and sovereign
Just like a Chilean or a Peruvian
Doesn't have to be a brother
Of Fujimori or Pinochet

Let's toast with beers and pisco
Let's not make history a fraud
From Tierra del Fuego
To Rio Grande
To their health, to their health
To their health, to their health

Don't call me a son of Cortés
Or of Isabel "The Sow"
I wasn't born in her bed
Nor was I breastfed by La Malinche
I don't have to hide
That in this land
I have my home

Don't call me a son of Cortés
Don't say any more curse words
That Moctezuma never avenged
This sincere or idiotic brother of yours
Let's bury resentment once and for all
As it is a very bad advisor

Let's toast with beers and pisco
Let's not make history a fraud
From Tierra del Fuego
To Rio Grande
To their health, to their health
To their health, to their health
