En tu suelo yo fui la mujer más feliz que gozó de la faz de la tierra
On your ground I was the happiest woman who enjoyed the face of the earth
Y bajo el cielo azul
And under the blue sky
Porque ahí descubrí que el amor para mí es lo más importante en la vida
Because there I discovered that love for me is the most important thing in life
Si me lo dabas tú
If you gave it to me
Antes nunca pensé que pudiera tener ese hermoso y sutil sentimiento
I never thought before that I could have that beautiful and subtle feeling
Que en México nació
That was born in Mexico
Pero cuando te vi sorprendida sentí en mi cuerpo un estremecimiento
But when I saw you surprised, I felt a shiver in my body
Te di mi corazón
I gave you my heart
A ti
To you
Que eres como el país, fuerte, amable y feliz, y te metes en el corazón

Tienes toda su fuerza en tus venas

Tienes en tu mirar su alegría
You have in your gaze their joy
Y México eres tú (ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
