SPAN 3051 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Himno Nacional Mexicano, Marcha Real, Archangel
Document Summary
There are no words to the spanish national anthem; it is completely instrumental. Mexican national anthem: mexicanos, al grito de guerra by francisco gonz lez bocanegra. El acero aprestad y el brid n; y retiemble en sus centros la tierra. Mexicans, at the cry of battle lend your swords and bridle; and let the earth tremble at its center upon the roar of the cannon. Your forehead shall be girded, oh fatherland, with olive garlands by the divine archangel of peace, For in heaven your eternal destiny has been written by the hand of god. Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven gave you a soldier in each son. War, war without truce against who would attempt to blemish the honor of the fatherland! The patriotic banners saturate in waves of blood. The terrifying cannon thunder and the echoes nobly resound to the cries of union! liberty!
