Voz de la guitarra mía Al despertar la mañana Quiere cantar su alegría A mi tierra mexicana Yo le canto a sus volcanes A sus 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
