Lyrics of Jorge Negrete - Pedro Infante

Jorge Negrete (original)

En la tierra de los charros mexicanos
hay un hombre que nos honra de verdad
es muy grande y a su sangre se desborda
la bravura el entusismo y la lealtad.
Por ser macho enamorado y pendenciero
lo vistieron con el traje nacional
y justo es reconocer que ya escogieron
el mas hombre, mas valiente y mas cabal.
Jorge Negrete a ti te queremos
y te admiramos por ser de ley
representando tu sangre azteca
te saludamos por ser de ley.
De los valientes y enamorados
y cumplidores a mas no dar
pues con pistola o desarmado
no ha habido nadie que te haga rajar.
De esta tierra donde nace el hombre entero
empuñando tu bandera y tu puñal
y llegaste con tu corazon guerrero
a imponerte al extranjero allende el mar.
Y a tu Mexico muy en alto lo has dejado
y aunque muchos por envidia no te dan
el lugar que corresponde a un mexicano
que es orgullo de esta tierra del nopal.
Jorge Negrete a ti te queremos
y te admiramos por ser de ley
representando tu sangre azteca
te saludamos por ser de ley.
De los valientes y enamorados
y cumplidores a mas no dar
pues con pistola o desarmado
no ha habido nadie que te haga rajar.

(translation)

In the land of the Mexican charros
there is a man who truly honors us
he is very big and his blood overflows
bravery, enthusiasm and loyalty.
For being a male in love and quarrelsome
they dressed him in the national costume
and it is fair to recognize that they have already chosen
the most manly, bravest and most thorough.
Jorge Negrete we love you
and we admire you for being of law
representing your aztec blood
We salute you for being of law.
Of the brave and in love
and compliant to but not to give
Well, with a gun or unarmed
there has been no one to make you crack.
From this land where the whole man is born
wielding your flag and your dagger
and you arrived with your warrior heart
to impose yourself on the foreigner beyond the sea.
And you have left your Mexico very high
and although many out of envy do not give you
the place that corresponds to a Mexican
that he is the pride of this land of the nopal.
Jorge Negrete we love you
and we admire you for being of law
representing your aztec blood
We salute you for being of law.
Of the brave and in love
and compliant to but not to give
Well, with a gun or unarmed
there has been no one to make you crack.
