Mexico Lindo Y Querido
Vicente Fernández Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Voz de la guitarra mía al despertar la mañana
Quiere cantar su alegría a mi tierra mexicana

Yo le canto a tus volcanes, a tus praderas y flores
Que son como talismanes del amor de mis amores

México lindo y querido, si muero lejos de ti
Que digan que estoy dormido

Y que me traigan aquí
Que digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aquí
México lindo y querido
Si muero lejos de ti

Que me entierren en la sierra
Al pie de los magueyales
Y que me cubra esta tierra
Que es cuna de hombres cabales

Voz de la guitarra mía, al despertar la mañana
Quiere cantar su alegría a mi tierra mexicana

México lindo y querido, si muero lejos de ti
Que digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aquí
Que digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aquí

México lindo y querido
Si muero lejos, de ti
