Yo Soy Mexicano
Jorge Negrete
I Am Mexican
I am Mexican, my land is fierce,
word of a man that there is no other land more beautiful
and fierce, than my land
I am Mexican and I have pride,
I was born despising life and death
and if I boast, I also stand by it
My pride is to be a charro, brave and bold,
to wear my hat with silver embroidery,
let no one tell me I'm a coward
To run my horse, bareback riding,
but more than anything I will be in love
I am Mexican, very stubborn
I am Mexican, luckily mine,
life has wanted that everywhere
I am recognized for my bravery
I am Mexican, I trust no one
and like Cuauhtémoc when I'm suffering,
before giving up, I endure and laugh
I like the hat, tilted to the side
a gun with a handle of leather,
smoking chopped tobacco in a leaf,
cockfighting, being famous
but more than anything, being in love
I am Mexican, very stubborn
