Los Tres Tenores Mexicanos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Voz de la guitarra mia
Al despertar la mañana
Quiere cantar su alegría
A mi tierra mexicana
Yo le canto a sus volcanes
A sus praderas y flores
Qué son como talismanes
Del amor de mis amores !México lindo y querido!
Si muero lejos de ti
Qué digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aqui
Qué digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aqui
! México lindo y querido!
Si muero lejos de ti

Qué me entierren en la sierra
Al pie de los magellales
Y que me cubra esta tierra
Qué es cuna de hombres cavales
Voz de la guitarra mia
Al despertar la mañana
Quiere cantar su alegría
A mi tierra!Mexicana!
! México lindo y querido!
Si muero lejos de ti
Qué digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aqui
Qué digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aqui

México lindo y querido
Si muero lejos de ti
