Por Amor a Mi Pueblo
Marco Antonio Solís
For the Love of My Town
I work from sunup to sundown
And sometimes I finish in the early hours
Thinking of my beautiful flower
So that she never lacks anything
Passing through the paths
Until reaching the cornfields
Singing with the streams
With the forest and the animals
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest
I'm going to ask you two things
Before it's too late
That you keep your accounts in order
And don't aim for a big family
Don't say I don't love you
I just aim to live better
And give you and my children
What I never had
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest
I'm a man like any other man
Planning ahead costs me nothing
I don't ask anyone for credit
And I live on more than just bread and water
I own my horse
My harvest and my hut
I didn't have school as a child
But I learned through my own will
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night
For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest
