Corrido a Mazatlan

Today that destiny
Brought me to this land
Where the Pacific is something unique
It is necessary for the guitar to sound
To sing a ballad to Mazatlan

I know I must sing with all my soul
For these people who are pure heart
Let's see if my song reaches the mountain
And even in the lighthouse my song is heard

Oh, what a beautiful centennial promenade
Oh, how beautiful also its cathedral
Here even a poor person feels like a millionaire
Here life goes by without crying

I am an outsider
I was born far from here
And yet I tell you in my song
That you all have a pride
The great pride of being from Mazatlan

Those women who have as women
Can be compared to roses
Because the aroma that carnations have
They have it and they have something more

And about their men, what could I tell you
That they are truly friends and noble
And without forgetting their typical spiders
How beautiful everything is in Mazatlan

Oh, what a beautiful centennial promenade
Oh, how beautiful also its cathedral
Here even a poor person feels like a millionaire
Here life goes by without crying

I am an outsider
I was born far from here
And yet I tell you in my song
That you all have a pride
The great pride of being from Mazatlan
