Lyrics & Translation
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
You have the soul of a provincial town
You smell clean, like an early rose
Like the fresh green rockrose of the river
Your village is a thousand doves
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
You taste like pure wet earth
Up with the Chivas!
♪
Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Beautiful Guadalajara
♪
I want to tell you something
You who preserve the water from the well
And the faithful shawl of your women
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
You have the most Mexican soul
♪
Ay, ay, ay, ay!
♪
Distant Colomitos
♪
Oh, little water eyes, brothers!
Oh, unforgettable Colomitos
Unforgettable like the afternoons
When the rain from the hill
Wouldn't let us go to Zapopan
(Ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay)
Guadalajara
♪
Guadalajara!
[Aplausos y vítores]
