Mexican National Anthem
Mexicans, to the cry of war
Prepare the steel and the steed
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
I
Oh, Country! Crown your brow with olive
The divine archangel of peace
Whose eternal destiny in heaven
Was written by God's finger
But if a foreign enemy should dare
To profane your soil with his foot
Think, beloved Country, that heaven
Gave you a soldier in each son
Gave you a soldier in each son!
Mexicans, to the cry of war
Prepare the steel and the steed
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
V
War, war! Without truce to whoever
Tries to stain the country's honor
War, war! Let the patriotic banners
Be soaked in waves of blood
War, war! In the mountains, in the valleys
Let the horrifying cannons thunder
And let the resounding echoes
Ring out with the voices of Union! Liberty!
Ring out with the voices of Union! Liberty!
Mexicans, to the cry of war
Prepare the steel and the steed
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
VI
Before, Country, that your unarmed sons
Bow their necks under the yoke
Let your fields be watered with blood
Let their feet be stamped on blood
And may your temples, palaces, and towers
Collapse with a dreadful roar
And may their ruins exist proclaiming
Here the homeland of a thousand heroes
Here the homeland of a thousand heroes!
Mexicans, to the cry of war
Prepare the steel and the steed
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
And let the earth tremble at its core
To the resounding roar of the cannon
X
Country! Country! Your sons swear to you
To breathe their last breath on your altars
If the bugle with its warlike tone
Calls them to fight with valor
For you, the olive garlands!
A memory of glory for them!
A laurel of victory for you!
A tomb of honor for them!
A tomb of honor for them!
