A Tribute to the Heart of Nuevo León: Vicente Fernández's 'El Corrido de Monterrey'

Vicente Fernández's 'El Corrido de Monterrey' is a heartfelt homage to the city of Monterrey, located in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. The song is a corrido, a traditional Mexican ballad that often tells a story or celebrates a particular place or person. In this case, the lyrics express the singer's deep pride and love for his hometown, highlighting the cultural and geographical features that make it unique.

The lyrics mention specific landmarks such as 'el cerro de la silla' (Saddle Mountain), which is a symbol of the city and can be seen from various points, creating a picturesque view at dusk. The song also references the lush orange groves, cornfields, and mesquite woodlands that characterize the region's landscape. These vivid descriptions not only paint a picture of Monterrey's natural beauty but also evoke a sense of nostalgia and deep connection to the land.

Fernández's affectionate portrayal of Monterrey is not just a personal sentiment; it resonates with many who share a connection to the city. The song serves as an anthem for Monterrey natives and honors the city's status as a beloved and vital part of Nuevo León. The repeated affirmations 'sí, señor' and 'Verdad de Dios que sí' (Yes, sir, and By God, it's true) emphasize the authenticity of the singer's feelings and the pride he takes in his roots.
