Guerrero Es
Joan Sebastian
Warrior Land
They asked me about the land where I was born
I’m from Guerrero, I proudly replied
You can hear: What a scare, that must be a thug
So I knew there was a misunderstanding
Guerrero is a kiss from the mountains to the sea
The song of a mockingbird and the roar of a jaguar
It’s a guitar strumming a folk tune
And a dark-skinned girl dancing like no other
Guerrero is a farmer working hard
For his land, his family, and he won’t back down
It’s a kid, dreaming as he goes to school
It’s a tricolor flag waving in Iguala
It’s a paradise if you want to take a vacation
It’s a honeymoon, a cozy nest for love
The best window to admire the stars
And its beaches hold a thousand beauties like no other
It’s a masterful novel by Altamirano
And that brave Nicolás is my fellow countryman
And though he has been and will be a great insurgent
Guerrero is also peace for my people
They asked me about the land where I was born
I’m from Juliantla, I proudly replied
You can hear: What a scare, that must be a thug
So this song became necessary
Guerrero is a painted box in Olinalá
It’s a silver moon hanging in Taxco
A brave rancher taming a wild bull
I’m not done yet, keep listening and you’ll know
There Cuauhtémoc has his eternal resting place
It’s my land, the most selfless mother
It’s a kid, dreaming as he goes to school
It’s a tricolor flag waving in Iguala
It’s a paradise if you want to take a vacation
It’s a honeymoon, a cozy nest for love
The best window to admire the stars
And its beaches hold a thousand beauties like no other
It’s a masterful novel by Altamirano
And that brave Nicolás is my fellow countryman
And though he has been and will be a great insurgent
Guerrero is also peace for my people
