Canción Mexicana

Today, full of emotions
I find myself with my jarana
I'm going to pay tribute
To the Mexican song
I'm going to pay tribute
To the most gallant song
The most exquisite song
Which is the Mexican song

To make lots of money
There's nothing like the American
To conquer hearts
There's nothing better than a Mexican
And how do they achieve it
If not by singing songs?
Like the 'cielito lindo'
That brightens the hearts

There's nothing lovelier
Than the cold mornings
Singing to a ranch girl
'Mañanitas' from Jalisco
That brings us much joy
Excitement to my body
Those 'sones abajeños'
From a mariachi from Jalisco

It's the Mexican song
That deserves honor
For being the most exquisite
Because it nourishes love
There are foreign songs
That stir passion
But none compare
To this beautiful song

That if 'Adelita' wanted to be my girlfriend
And if 'Adelita' were my wife
I would buy her a silk dress
To take her dancing, to the barracks
