The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, presented the Migrant Anthem, an emotional song written for all compatriots who live outside the country, but who deeply love their country and feel extremely proud of their roots.
During her morning press conference on Wednesday, the Mexican president witnessed, as did everyone who watched and tuned into the "Mañanera del Pueblo," this anthem performed live by the group "Legado de Grandeza."
The emotional anthem was presented in the framework of the International Migrants Day, which is celebrated every year on December 18.
The catchy and emotional song, with a rhythm of corrido tumbado and mariachi, was produced in collaboration with the School of Mexican Music of Durango, through two graduates of said institution, and with the participation of producers and composers from all over the country, as well as Mexican-Americans residing in the United States.
To create this anthem, talented young people from cities such as Tijuana, some belonging to the "Comarca Lagunera", Nezahualcóyotl, Durango, Apodaca, and Arkansas were called upon, as well as the special participation of the Huichol Musical group, who was nominated for an American Grammy.
The Migrant Anthem was written by Jessi MartÃnez, Mauricio Ulloa, Erick Ulloa, Emilio RodrÃguez, Brandon Ramos, Kevin Gallardo, Luis Sánchez, Teo Mora and Carlos Carmona, young Mexican-Americans and Mexicans who joined their talents to pay tribute to Mexican migrants who, although they are not in their country, every day, thanks to their work and contributions, are a fundamental part of the construction and transformation of Mexico and the country in which they live.
"This is a gift for all our fellow countrymen and women around the world," said President Claudia Sheinbaum. "Mexico is also spelled with an M for Migrant."
Migrant Anthem (lyrics)
Where I'm from we don't back down
We work any land
Sacrifice is never in vain, we have even reached space
Where we are from we do not rajamos and What we dream of we realize
Great countryman, brother, friend, I am Mexican
And we changed places, not flags
vGreen, white and red, I have it in my veins
Like the eagle we fly without borders
We break the mesh that separates lands
And we were born with a legacy of greatness
I miss my ranch, also my family, my beloved town that I will never forget.
Although life brought me from this side,
Always for "adela" like Pancho Villa
And we changed places, not flags
Green, white and red, I have it in my veins
Like the eagle we fly without borders
We break the mesh that separates lands
And we were born with a legacy of greatness
(Spoken) To our immigrant women and mothers, an example of strength and courage, and Long Live Mexico!
And even though the certificate says American, I am pure Mexican
And we changed places, not flags
Green, white and red, I have it in my veins
Like the eagle we fly without borders
We break the mesh that separates lands
And we were born with a legacy of greatness
And we changed places, not flags
Green, white and red, I have it in my veins
Like the eagle we fly without borders
We break the mesh that separates lands
And we were born with a legacy of greatness
