Translation of the song lyrics Mi Ciudad - Luis Miguel

Mi Ciudad (original)

Mi ciudad es chinampa
En un lago escondido
Es cenzontle que busca
En donde hacer nido
Reguilete que engaña la vista al girar
Baila el son del tequila y de su valentía
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
En un lienzo de fiesta y color
Mi ciudad es la cuna
De un niño dormido
Es un bosque de espejos
Que cuida un castillo
Monumento de gloria que vela su altar
Es un sol con penacho y sarape veteado
Que en las noches se viste de charro
Y se pone a cantarle al amor
En las tardes con la lluvia
Se baña su piel morena
Y al desatarse las trenzas
Sus ojos tristes se cierran
Mi ciudad es la cuna
De un niño dormido
Es un bosque de espejos
Que cuida un castillo
Monumento de gloria que vela su altar
Baila al son del tequila y de su valentía
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
En un lienzo de fiesta y color
Es un sol con penacho y sarape veteado
Que en las noches se viste de charro
Y se pone a cantarle al amor

(translation)

my city is chinampa
In a hidden lake
It's the Mockingbird you're looking for
where to nest
Reguilete that fools the eye when turning
Dance to the sound of tequila and its bravery
He is a rider who risks his life
In a party and color canvas
my city is the cradle
of a sleeping child
It's a forest of mirrors
who takes care of a castle
Monument of glory that watches over its altar
It is a sun with plume and veined serape
That at night he dresses as a charro
And he starts to sing to love
In the afternoons with the rain
She bathes her brown skin
And when the braids are untied
Her sad eyes close
my city is the cradle
of a sleeping child
It's a forest of mirrors
who takes care of a castle
Monument of glory that watches over its altar
Dance to the sound of tequila and its bravery
He is a rider who risks his life
In a party and color canvas
It is a sun with plume and veined serape
That at night he dresses as a charro
And he starts to sing to love
