¡Viva México!

 

    What better song to commemorate Mexico's Independence than the very nationalistic Viva Mexico, composed by Pedro Galindo.  This song is traditionally sung by the people gathered in the plazas and zócalos to celebrate El Grito de Independencia, every  September 16.

¡Viva México!

 by Pedro Galindo      

Soy puro mexicano,
nacido en este suelo,
en esta hermosa tierra
que es mi linda nación.

Mi México querido.
que linda es mi bandera,
si alguno la mancilla
le parto el corazón.


Viva México, viva América,
oh suelo bendito de Dios;
viva México, 
viva América,
mi sangre por ti daré yo.

Soy puro mexicano
y nunca me he dejado,
si quieren informarse
la historia les dirá:

Qué México es valiente
y nunca se ha rajado;
viva la democracia,
también la libertad.

Viva México, viva América,
oh suelo bendito de Dios;
viva México, 
viva América,
mi sangre por ti daré yo.

Soy puro mexicano,
por eso estoy dispuesto;
si México lo quiere
que tenga que pelear.


Mi vida se la ofrezco,
al cabo él me la ha dado,
y como buen soldado
yo se la quiero dar.

Viva México, viva América,
oh suelo bendito de Dios;
viva México, 
viva América,
mi sangre por ti daré yo.

I’m pure Mexican
born in this land,
In this beautiful territory
my grand nation.

My beloved Mexico
how beautiful our flag,
If someone sullies her
I’ll break his heart.


Long live Mexico, long live America,
oh blessed land of God;
long live Mexico, 
long live America,
I’ll give by life for you.

I’m pure Mexican
and never given up,
if you want to check
history will show you:


  That Mexico is courageous
and never has backed out;
long live democracy and liberty.


Long live Mexico, long live America,
oh blessed land of God;
long live Mexico, 
long live America,
I’ll give by life for you.

I’m pure Mexican
and for that I’m willing;
if Mexico
requires me to fight.


I offer her my life,
since she has given it to me,
and as a good soldier,
I’ll offer it to her.

Long live Mexico, long live America,
oh blessed land of God;
long live Mexico, 
long live America,
I’ll give by life for you.
