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 majaguales
Y que me cubra esa 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
