sonora querida
Valentín Elizalde
Beloved Sonora
Beloved Sonora, cherished land of joy and pleasure,
I miss your soil and I long to see you again,
Your beautiful women ignite desires, they are females of love.
They have lovely eyes and lips so red that they are exquisite.
When I see my Cananea happy again, I will be happy,
That Bacatete where I turned seventeen,
Oh, beautiful Guaymas! Delicious port where I found a charming daughter of Sonora whom I adored.
Cajeme so rich where even the smallest one earns his coin,
Such a gentle little town, beans and chickpeas you gave to Obregon,
Lovely Hermosillo so small and simple where I lived
Those nights so pleasant and beautiful that are always in my mind.
Nogales border where I would like to return to my land,
Beloved border, I would give my life to see you again.
Goodbye my Sonora where the Bacanora ignites passion, idolized land you will be venerated by my heart.
