Chorus

Stanza V War, war! with no mercy to any who shall dare to tarnish the coats of arms of the Motherland! War, war! The national banners Shall be drenched in waves of blood. War, war! On the mountain, in the valley, The cannons thunder in horrid unison and the sonorous echoes resound with bellows of Union! Liberty!

Chorus

Stanza VI Stanza VI

O, Motherland, if however your children, defenseless With their necks bent beneath the yoke, May your fields be watered with blood, May their footsteps be printed with blood. And your temples, palaces and towers Shall collapse with horrid clamor, And your ruins continue on, whispering: Of one thousand heroes, the Motherland once was.

Chorus

Stanza X Motherland! Motherland! Your children assure to breathe until their last for your sake, if the bugle with its bellicose accent calls them together to battle with courage. For you, the olive wreaths! For them, a reminder of glory! For you, a laurel of victory! For them, a tomb of honor!

Chorus: At the loud cry of war all assemble, Then your swords and your steeds all prepare, and the Earth to its center shall tremble when the cannon's deep roar rends the air. and the Earth to its center shall tremble when the cannon's deep roar rends the air!

First Stanza Oh my country entwine on thy temples boughs of olive so fresh and so vernal, when inscribed in the heavens eternal blessed peace for all the land thou dost see. But if stranger and foe in their boldness dare to tread on thy soil, they must perish, then, oh my country, this thought only cherish every son is but a soldier for thee.

Chorus
Mexicans, at the cry of war,
assemble the steel and the bridle,
and the Earth trembles to its core
to the resounding roar of the cannon.
and the Earth trembles to its core
to the resounding roar of the cannon!


First Stanza
Encircle Oh Motherland!, your temples with olives
Peace, by the divine archangel,
for in heaven lies your eternal destiny
which was written by the finger of God.
If, however, a foreign enemy would dare
to profane Your ground with their sole,
think, Oh beloved Motherland!, that Heaven
has given a soldier in every son.


Chorus


Stanza V
War, war! with no mercy to any who shall dare
to tarnish the coats of arms of the Motherland!
War, war! The national banners
Shall be drenched in waves of blood.
War, war! On the mountain, in the valley,
The cannons thunder in horrid unison
and the sonorous echoes resound
with bellows of Union! Liberty!


Chorus
