Mexico Querido
MEXICO QUERIDO
Mexico querido y lindo…
The beauty of the people
And the land in which they live
Is accentuated by their struggle
To live their lives without bitterness
In a system of unfairness
The land itself cries out for justice
For equality and dignity
Men’s hopes are dashed
Upon the altar of greed
At the heart of corruption is
Supreme selfishness,
Amassing wealth for
One’s own pleasures
Still Mexico’s people
Remain resilient,
Enduring life’s hardships
With steady determination
To enjoy their loved ones
And the land of their forefathers
To dare to believe,
To hope yet once again
For the sake of their children
For a Mexico querido y lindo
For everyone
