FOLKLORE AND HISTORY
Viva Grant, viva Grant
ciudadanos
que cinco afios la guerra sostuvo,
y un ej6rcito enorme mantuvo
en defensa de la libertad.
Y despu6s de sangrientos
combates
do murieron valientes soldados
fueron libres aquellos estados
que jams pretendian la igualdad.
Dios te salve, Caudillo del
Norte,
yo saludo tu sacra bandera
que en el mundo flamea por
doquiera
ofreciendo la paz y la uni6n.
Tambibn M6xico ensalza tu
nombre
porque fuiste con 61 indulgente,
fuiste siempre y serds el valiente
que defiende la Constituci6n.65
Long live Grant, citizens long
live Grant,
Who withstood the war for five
years,
Who maintained an enormous
army
In defense of liberty.
And after many bloody battles
In which courageous soldiers
died,
Those states were free
That had never aspired for
equality.
God save thee, Chieftain of the
North,
I salute your holy flag
That flutters everywhere in the
world,
Offering union and peace.
Mexico too exalts your name
Because you were kind toward it;
You have been and shall be the
brave one,
The defender of the Constitution.A ZARAGOZA
Dios te salve, valiente
Zaragoza,
invicto general de la frontera,
yo con los libres saludo tu bandera
que en Puebla tremol6 sin
descansar.
Los hijos de la patria te saludan
solemnizando tu triunfo en este
dia,
los venideros tambi6n con alegrfa
bendecirdn tu nombre sin cesar.God save thee, brave Zaragoza,
Unconquered general of the
Border;
I and all free men salute your flag
That waved unceasingly on
Puebla's battlefield.
The sons of the Fatherland salute
you,
Celebrating your triumph on this
day;
Those to come also joyfully
Will bless your name until the end
of time.
