Agua! Tierra! El viento! Fuego! ¡México! ¡Hoy no somos dos: somos una ilusión, una nación de pacíficos guerreros soñadores! ¡México! Soy tu corazón, soy tu canto de amor Dos Ojos son Una Mirada de amor. / Our house, a room of flowers The sun shines down on the city The Mexico Tenochtitlán of ancient times Was a good and beautiful place Our human abode The giver of life brought us here Our fame was here, our earthly glory Our house, of smoke and fog That shrouds the city The Mexico Tenochtitlan of today Is a crazed, noisy place Thirsty for wealth and worldliness, a sailor went to sea With his weapons, his dreams, his immortal story Greedy adventurers, navigators of salt and iron They build the road that we will travel one day Songs of woods and sands, new lands to explore New Spain awaits, jade and flint Water! Earth! The Wind! Fire! México! Today we are not two, but one dream, One nation of peaceful warrior dreamers! México! I am your heart, I am your love song Two eyes make one loving gaze.
