Patria Y Sangre

Homeland and Blood

It was on that occasion
That Mexico showed kindness
Treating Yankee settlers
With good hospitality

But Oh!
They already had bad intentions
To take over Texas
That was their mission

Despotism
Cruelty
Colonialism
And ambition
The perfect formula for detonation

Of an imminent war
With an uncertain future
The Yankees imposed their manifest destiny

Injustice increased
Making multiple offers
Miserable amounts
That's more than an offense
No deal was closed
That bothered them
They responded with plans
For their next invasion

1846 on the banks of the Rio Grande
An Anglo-Saxon battalion invaded
Without hesitation

The Mexican troops shouted
'It's our land!'
The Yankees declined
'Prepare for war!'
We may lose the war
Even territory
The damages were very serious
The damages were notorious

They chose to steal our wealth
And steal much more
What they can never take from us
Will be our freedom!
This is pure evil
They don't want to see us succeed
Mexico extends a hand
And they want to take advantage

This will change
They can't pass anymore
The eagle has awakened
And the blindfold will be removed
Battles began
Ships arrive in Tabasco
They try to take the port
Without success
It was a failure

Next, the battle of Angostura
It was worse
Santa Anna marched north
Against all the victors

The homeland was agonizing
No longer seeing the light
Civilians, my patriots defended Veracruz
The gringos take the port
And bombard the city
They were war crimes
Carried out with cruelty

1847, defense in the capital
Battles at a boiling point
All of this was going very wrong

San Patricio Battalion
We will remember you
But this injustice
Will not remain like this

They close Chapultepec
The Yankees come for more!
The child heroes shouted
And the San Blas battalion

Mexico lost the war
It is written in the epics

My sky was profaned
With stripes and stars

We may lose the war
Even territory
The damages were very serious
The damages were notorious

They chose to steal our wealth
And steal much more
What they can never take from us
Will be our freedom!
This is pure evil
They don't want to see us succeed
Mexico extends a hand
And they want to take advantage

This will change
They can't pass anymore
The eagle has awakened
And the blindfold will be removed

We may lose the war
Even territory
The damages were very serious
The damages were notorious

They chose to steal our wealth
And steal much more
What they can never take from us
Will be our freedom!
This is pure evil
They don't want to see us succeed
Mexico extends a hand
And they want to take advantage

This will change
They can't pass anymore
The eagle has awakened
And the blindfold will be removed

When Mexico sends its people
They're not sending their best
They bring drugs
They bring crime
They're rapists
And some, I suppose, are good people
But I'm talking about

Enough!
Of so much humiliation

If throughout our history
They have harmed my nation
Tell me who you are
Who are the criminals
If in the south of the border
They hunt us like animals

Abnormal!
Don't fill us with illegals!
The native tribes send
Warm greetings!

They committed genocide
And their racism remains!
Besides stepping on land
That doesn't belong to you
Despite the territory
You know was stolen
You don't want Mexicans on your land
It's a disgrace!
That doesn't give you the right
To discriminate against my people
No one is a foreigner at home
Even if you don't want to accept

You get indignant about drugs
But your factories flourish
With the weapons you introduce
With death and at all hours
Regardless of the deaths
To satisfy your interests

You've stolen so many things
That what you have you don't deserve!
Invade other nations
Make war on half the world
That's why the world cuts you off
I confuse your morals
You've mutilated my country
I'm not lying
This is clear
Friends, admit it now
You've done a very deep harm

This makes me angry
It gives me secondhand embarrassment
Greed invades you
And poisons the soul
The one who honors more
Already has their sentence ready

Your power is plummeting
Towards darkness

Promote your freedom
From the fake Capitol
But what a coincidence!
There's always oil there
Porfirio Díaz already said it
That's why we're sunk
We're far from God
And close to the United States

Thousands bring your values
But don't misinterpret
But I think the time has come
For Mexico to be respected
I speak for all Hispanics
Who we see represent us
American is not a country
America is a continent!
And now what?
You build your wall and what?
It will serve us as a shield
It will be the other way around
Are you trembling? Yes
As you see it
Rapid growth
That's your worst stress
Be alert
Because this is already turning around
You have hundreds of conflicts
You consider yourself invincible
You've lost more friends
You increase enemies
Your empire is ending
And you've already realized it!
Invade other nations
Make war on half the world
That's why the world cuts you off
I confuse your morals
You've mutilated my country
I'm not lying
This is clear
Friends, admit it now
You've done a very deep harm

This makes me angry
It gives me secondhand embarrassment
Greed invades you
And poisons the soul
The one who honors more
Already has their sentence ready

Your power is plummeting
Towards darkness
