“Himno Nacional Mexicano”
Anthem: “Himno Nacional Mexicano” Mexicanos, al grito de guerra El acero aprestad y el bridon; y retiemble en sus centros la tierra Al sonoro rugir del canon. Cina -oh patria! tus sienes de olivo De la Paz el arcangel divino, Que en el cielo tu eterno destino Por el dedo de Dios se escribio. Mas si osare un extrano enemigo Profanar con su planta tu suelo, Piensa -oh patria querida! que el cielo Un soldado en cada hijo te dio. Mexicans, at the cry of battle lend your swords and bridle; and let the earth tremble at its center upon the roar of the cannon. Your forehead shall be girded, oh fatherland, with olive garlands by the divine archangel of peace, For in heaven your eternal destiny has been written by the hand of God. But should a foreign enemy Profane your land with his sole, Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven gave you a soldier in each son.
