México en la piel [English translation]

Like a glance made in Sonora,

dressed with the sea of Cozumel,

with the color of the sun all over your body,

that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.

Like the good tequila from this land,

or like a friend from Yucatán,

and embroidery in Aguascalientes,

or wool knit in Teotitlán.

That's how you feel Mexico, that's how you feel Mexico,

just like lips caressing your skin.

That's how Mexico surrounds you, that's how Mexico tastes,

and that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.

Like looking at the mountain range of Chihuahua,

or the craft-works made in San Miguel,

climbing the Cerro de la Silla,

that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.

Like being accompanied by mariachis,

to make that song cry,

which is played with marimba in the south,

but with accordion in the north.

That's how you feel Mexico, that's how you feel Mexico,

just like lips caressing your skin.

That's how Mexico surrounds you, that's how Mexico tastes,

and that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.

Like a good sarape from Saltillo,

like a welcoming in Veracruz,

with the emotions from a kiss given face-to-face,

and that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.

Like watching the Caribbean sea,

and discovering a beautiful sunrise,

or feeling the fresh breeze from Morelia,

the moon caressing a woman.

That's how you feel Mexico, that's how you feel Mexico,

just like lips caressing your skin.

That's how Mexico surrounds you, that's how Mexico tastes,

and that's how you wear Mexico on the skin.
