Lyrics

Spanish original

𝄆 Soy soldado mexicano y no me rajo
y con gusto defiendo a mi nación
con mi pistola y mi máuser bien parquedo
con ansia espero cualquier intervención. 𝄇
 
Si hay alguna nación que se atreva
a mi heroica bandera pisotear,
luego, luego, verán lo que es mi tierra
y verán que con Mexico se van a equivocar.
 
𝄆 Que se vengan los nazis y amarillos
que se vengan uno a uno o de a montón,
que los espero con mucho patriotismo
porque tengo muy grande el corazón. 𝄇
 
Si hay alguna nación que se atreva
a mi heroica bandera pisotear,
luego, luego, verán lo que es mi tierra
y verán que con Mexico se van a equivocar.
 
𝄆 Aunque esos majes se crean los muy grandotes
que no se piensen que los voy a cargar,
les hares ver que son puros guajolotes
y que conmigo se van a estrellar. 𝄇
 
Si hay alguna nación que se atreva
a mi heroica bandera pisotear,
luego, luego, verán lo que es mi tierra
y verán que con Mexico se van a equivocar.

English translation

𝄆 I'm a Mexican soldier and I don't back down,
and gladly I defend my nation,
with my pistol and my mauser held steady,
I look forward to any intervention. 𝄇
 
If there should be any nation that dares
to trample on my glorious flag,
soon, soon they'll see what my homeland is capable of,
and realize that messing with Mexico is a mistake.
 
𝄆 Let them come, the Nazis and the Yellowmen,
let them come one by one or by the lot,
I await their arrival with the utmost sense of patriotism
because I have such a big heart. 𝄇
 
If there should be any nation that dares
to trample on my glorious flag,
soon, soon they'll see what my homeland is capable of,
and realize that messing with Mexico is a mistake.
 
𝄆 Even if those fools believe themselves to be the greatest,
I hope they don't think that I'm going to take it,
I'll make them see that they're just a bunch of idiots
and that they're going to collide with me. 𝄇
 
If there should be any nation that dares
to trample on my glorious flag,
soon, soon they'll see what my homeland is capable of,
and realize that messing with Mexico is a mistake.
