13 “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.
