Veracruz
Agustín Lara
Veracruz
Yo nací con la Luna de plata
Nací con alma de pirata
He nacido rumbero y jarocho
Trovador de veras
Y me fui lejos de Veracruz
Veracruz, rinconcito
Donde hacen su nido
Las olas del mar
Veracruz, pedacito
De patria que sabe sufrir y cantar
Veracruz, son tus noches
Diluvio de estrellas, palmera y mujer
Veracruz, vibra en mi ser
Algún día hasta tus playas lejanas
Tendré que volver
I was born in the silver moon
I was born with a pirate's soul
I've been born a rumba-man and Veracruzanian
A real troubadour
And I headed out of Veracruz
Veracruz, lil' corner
Where the sea weaves
Make their home
Veracruz, lil' frame
Of fatherland, knows how to suffer and cry
Veracruz, your nights are
Stars flood, palm trees and women
Veracruz, it thrills up my being
Till your faraway beaches
I'll have to go back one day
