Verse 1
Like a gaze made in Sonora
Dressed with the sea of Cozumel
With the color of the sun all over the body
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin
Like the good tequila of this land
Or like a friend in Yucatán
In Aguascalientes, hand embroidery
Or wool woven in Teotitlán
Chorus 1
That's how Mexico feels
That's how Mexico feels
Just like lips on the skin
That's how Mexico envelops you
That's how Mexico tastes to you
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin
Verse 2
Like seeing the Sierra of Chihuahua
Or the craftsmanship in San Miguel
Being able to climb Cerro de la Silla
Cerro de la Silla is a mountain range
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin
Like accompanying yourself with Mariachis
To make that song cry
In the south it's played with marimba
In the north with accordion
Chorus 2
That's how Mexico feels
That's how Mexico feels
Just like lips on the skin
That's how Mexico envelops you
That's how Mexico tastes to you
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin
Verse 3
Like a good sarape from Saltillo
Like a welcome in Veracruz
The emotion of a kiss face to face
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin
Like contemplating the Caribbean Sea
Discovering a beautiful sunrise
Having the cool breeze of Morelia
The moon caressing a woman
Chorus 3
That's how Mexico feels
That's how Mexico feels
Just like lips on the skin
That's how Mexico envelops you
That's how Mexico tastes to you
That's how Mexico is carried on the skin

SONG MEANING

México En La Piel is Luis Miguel’s musical postcard of pride and affection, inviting you on a sensory tour from Sonora’s desert gaze to Cozumel’s turquoise sea. With each verse he layers textures—tequila’s warm burn, mariachi strings that can make a heart weep, the vibrant threads of Teotitlán wool—until you can almost feel Mexico pressing against your skin like a sun-kissed embrace. The repetition of Así se lleva a México en la piel (“That’s how you carry Mexico on your skin”) reminds us that national identity is not just an idea; it is tasted, heard, seen, and literally felt.

The song’s chorus wraps everything together: coastlines, mountains, bustling plazas, and quiet dawns become one shared heartbeat. By stitching together so many regional symbols—marimba in the south, accordion in the north, a welcoming sarape in Saltillo—Luis Miguel shows that Mexico’s true beauty lies in its rich diversity united by passion. In the end, the track suggests that once these colors, flavors, and sounds touch you, Mexico will remain with you forever, like the lingering warmth of a tender kiss.
