HW due Tuesday August 27th.

Instructions: On a separate piece of paper copy down, by hand, the complete lyrics (words to a song) of the Mexican national anthem in English. Here is a translation to help you out: 

CHORUS 

Mexicans, at the cry of battle 
lend your swords and bridle; 
and let the earth tremble at its centres 
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. 
But should a foreign enemy 
Profane your land with his sole, 
Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven 
gave you a soldier in each son. 

CHORUS 

II 

War, war without truce against who would attempt 
to blemish the honor of the fatherland! 
War, war! The patriotic banners 
saturate in waves of blood. 
War, war! On the mount, in the vale 
The terrifying cannon thunder 
and the echoes nobly resound 
to the cries of union! liberty! 

CHORUS 

III 

Fatherland, before your children become unarmed 
Beneath the yoke their necks in sway, 
May your countryside be watered with blood, 
On blood their feet trample. 
And may your temples, palaces and towers 
crumble in horrid crash, 
and their ruins exist saying: 
The fatherland was made of a thousand heroes here. 

CHORUS 

IV 

Fatherland, fatherland, your children swear 
to exhale their breath in your cause, 
If the bugle in its belligerent tone 
should call upon them to struggle with bravery. 
For you the olive garlands! 
For them a memory of glory! 
For you a laurel of victory! 
For them a tomb of honor!
