This is a story
Like so many others
that a grandfather told
his grandson in the city of Tenochtitlán
We were a people
dedicated to work
It's not that we were perfect
But we lived in peace
Nature taught us how to live
We felt like brothers
ready to share the corn ration
Yes, yes, the corn ration
And some men arrived
like in our ancient times
and we thought that they were gods
that came to help
They treated us like dogs
with the excuse of teaching
They almost wiped us out
the ones who came from the sea
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh, oh
Oh Tenochtitlán
Your mother couldn't
resist the cruelty
of some men whose instinct
no animal ever had
Your father fought
and ended up covered in blood
and your grandmother, my wife
fell into cowardly hands
There's misery and there's hunger
Yes, yes
There's misery and hunger
Come on
And some men arrived
like in our ancient times
and we thought that they were gods
that came to help
They treated us like dogs
with the excuse of teaching
They almost wiped us out
the ones who came from the sea
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh, oh
Oh Tenochtitlán
This is a story
stuck like a thorn
that a grandfather told
to his grandson in the ruins of Tenochtitlán
Yes, yes, of Tenochtitlán
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh, oh
Oh Tenochtitlán
Tenochtitlán
Tenochtitlán, Tenochtitlán
Today it's Mexico
Federal District
Tenochtitlán, Tenochtitlán
Tenochtitlán, Tenochtitlán
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh, oh
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh Tenochtitlán
Oh, oh
