My GuadalupanaMi Guadalupana
I want to offer you a brave songYo quiero ofrecerte un canto valiente
That all of Mexico gives you with a smileQue México entero te brinde sonriente

I want to tell youYo quiero decirte
What you already knowLo que tú ya sabes
That Mexico loves you, never feels sadQue México te ama, que nunca está triste
Because just saying your name sets the soul on firePorque, de nombrarte, el alma se inflama

Your name is prideTu nombre es orgullo
And the world knows itY el mundo lo sabe
You are our pride and Mexico is yoursEres nuestro orgullo y México es tuyo
You hold the keyTú guardas la llave

Long live the queen of the MexicansQué viva la reina de los mexicanos
The one who with her handsLa que con sus manos
Planted beautiful rosesSembró rosas bellas
And put thousands of stars in the skyY puso en el cielo millares de estrellas

I know that in heavenYo sé que en el cielo
You hear my songEscuchas mi canto
And I know that, with care, your mantle covers usY sé que, con celo, nos cubre tu manto
Pretty Virgin, you are a charmVirgencita chula, eres un encanto

For our homeland you gave usPor patria nos diste
This lovely landEste lindo suelo
And you blessed it, because it was your wishY lo bendijiste, porque era tu anhelo
To have a sanctuary close to heavenTener un santuario cerquita del cielo

My ranchera virgin, my brown virginMi virgen ranchera, mi virgen morena
You are our ownerEres nuestra dueña
Mexico is your landMéxico es tu tierra
And you, its flagY tú, su bandera

Long live the queen of the MexicansQué viva la reina de los mexicanos
The one who with her handsLa que con sus manos
Planted beautiful rosesSembró rosas bellas
And put thousands of stars in the skyY puso en el cielo millares de estrellas
