O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

National Anthem of México

Versión oficial actual

(Coro)

Mexicanos, al grito de guerra

El acero aprestad y el bridón,

Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra

Al sonoro rugir del cañón.

Estrofas

I

Ciña ¡Oh Patria! tus sienes de oliva

de la paz el arcángel divino,

que en el cielo tu eterno destino

por el dedo de Dios escribió.

Mas si osare un extraño enemigo

profanar con su planta tu suelo,

piensa ¡Oh Patria querida! que el cielo

un soldado en cada hijo te dio.

II

¡Guerra, guerra sin tregua al que intente

de la patria manchar los blasones!

¡guerra, guerra! los patrios pendones

en las olas de sangre empapad.

¡Guerra, guerra! en el monte, en el valle,

los cañones horrísonos truenen

y los ecos sonoros resuenen

con las voces de ¡Unión! ¡Libertad!

III

Antes, Patria, que inermes tus hijos

bajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen,

tus campiñas con sangre se rieguen,

sobre sangre se estampe su pie.

Y tus templos, palacios y torres

se derrumben con hórrido estruendo,

y sus ruinas existan diciendo:

de mil héroes la patria aquí fue.

IV

¡Patria! ¡Patria! tus hijos te juran

exhalar en tus aras su aliento,

si el clarín con su bélico acento

los convoca a lidiar con valor.

¡Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva;

¡un recuerdo para ellos de gloria!

¡un laurel para ti de victoria;

¡un sepulcro para ellos de honor!
