La Lupe

I'm leaving your beautiful Mexican land
Kind and gentle
And I do it excited
As if leaving a piece of me in it

I'm leaving, beautiful Lupe
And I take with me
A ray of light
That your eyes gave me
Virgin of Guadalupe
The afternoon I saw you

Swallow without a nest
I was on the road
When I met you
You opened your chest to me
With well felt love
I nested in you

And now that I'm leaving
To fulfill my duty
That my land calls me
To conquer or die
Don't forget me, Lupita
Oh, remember me
