Voz de la guitarra mía

Al despertar la mañana
When morning wakes up
Quiere cantar su alegría
Wants to sing her joy
A mi tierra mexicana
To my Mexican land
Yo le canto a sus volcanes
I sing to her volcanos
A sus praderas y flores
To her meadows and flowers
Que son como talismanes

Del amor de mis amores

Y que me traigan aquí
And that they bring me here
