Mexico Stands Tall

México Sigue De Pie

Mexico, Mexico, MexicoMéxico, México, México
Is this what they're selling you?¿No es lo que te están vendiendo?
Mexico is the cradle of peopleMéxico es cuna de gente
Who push forward without fearQue echa pa' lante sin miedo
Who rise upQue se ha levantado
When they fall downCuando se ha caído
It's fire and lavaEs fuego y es lava
From an active volcanoDe volcán activo
Don't let those¿Que no se confundan
Smoke sellers confuse youEsos vende humos?
Mexico doesn't sleepMéxico no duerme
Has never sleptNunca se ha dormido

Mexico, Mexico, MexicoMéxico, México, México
It's hard work, not luckEs esfuerzo, no chiripa
They lend a hand and shareBrindan y la mano y comparten
Even when their stomachs are growlingAunque le chillen las tripas
My Mexico is that workerMi México es ese obrero
Who despite all the strugglesQue a pesar de los pesares
Keeps pushing throughSigue rajándose el cuero
Even when troubles drown himAunque lo ahoguen los males
It's dignity, glory, and bloodEs dignidad, gloria y sangre
Of those who have fallenDe aquellos que se han caído
Mexico stands tallMéxico sigue de pie
Today more than ever, it's aliveHoy más que nunca está vivo

Mexico is the dusty footMéxico es el pie empolvado
And those calloused handsY esas manos callosas
That make the fields thriveQue hacen que el campo germine
While grandma preparesMientras la abuela prepara
Those delicious mealsEsas viandas tan sabrosas
Is there violence in Mexico?¿Que en México hay violencia?
Yeah, just like in other placesPues sí, como en otras partes
But that doesn't take away the greatness and strengthPero eso no quita la grandeza y fortaleza
Of my beloved countryA mi país tan querido
And never forgetY que nunca se te olvide
What was once TenochtitlanLo que ayer fue Tenochtitlan
That promised EdenAquel Edén prometido
Is the root of splendorEs raíz del esplendor
And not what they've sold youY no lo que te han vendido

Mexico, Mexico, MexicoMéxico, México, México
What pride to be MexicanQué orgullo ser mexicano
Mexico is a paradiseMéxico es un paraíso
From Suchiate to the Rio BravoDel Suchiate al Río Bravo
With a good tequilaCon un buen tequila
It heals the woundedSe cura lo herido
It's a united familyEs familia unida
Knows how to make friendsSabe hacer amigos
In my Aztec landEn mi tierra azteca
Power shinesBrilla el poderío
Mexico doesn't sleepMéxico no duerme
Has never sleptNunca se ha dormido
