100% Mexicano

I am of the bronze race
I am a poet and a peasant
Through my veins runs blood
Noble blood, indigenous blood
I am pure Zacatecan
Mexican by heritage
Land of my grandparents, my parents
My blood is of Aztec race
And the woman
I desire must be brunette
Dark-skinned like the land of my Mexican homeland
And the woman
I desire to adore
Must be dark-skinned like the Virgin of Guadalupe

Because I am as I am
Pure heart
100% Mexican, mariachi, banda, tequila, and song
Because I am as I am
Party-goer and loving
100% Mexican, mariachi, banda, tequila, and song

I am like the royal eagle that stands alone
Perched on a cactus, devouring a snake
I am from the highest cliffs where the wind blows strong
I am not a man of empty words, I stand by what I say
And the woman
I desire must be brunette
Dark-skinned like the land of my Mexican homeland
And the woman
I desire to adore
Must be dark-skinned like the Virgin of Guadalupe

Because I am as I am
Pure heart
100% Mexican, mariachi, banda, tequila, and song
Because I am as I am
Party-goer and loving
100% Mexican, mariachi, banda, tequila, and song
