Popurrí Mexicano

They say I'm asleep
And they bring me here
Beautiful and beloved Mexico
If I die far away from you

I'm Mexican
My land is wild
Word of a tough guy, there's no other land
More beautiful and wild, than my land

I'm Mexican
I have my pride
I was born despising life and death
And if I've been boastful, I stand by it
I'm Mexican
Quite stubborn

I have the soul of a bohemian and Mexican
A wanderer and troubadour
I carry my friendship in my hand for everyone
I'm like that from the heart

My songs wander around the world
Rolling like me
And it's my pride to be called Mexican!
There's no other like Mexico!

I was born on the border, on this side
On this side, pure Mexican!
No matter how people judge me as Texan
I assure you, I'm Mexican
From here, on this side

I wear the cowboy hat to the side
Gun on my belt and leather jacket
And because I'm used to the cigar leaf
And the red scarf around my neck
They think, something else

Oh, damn, damn!
How beautiful is my land, how beautiful!
How lovely it is!
