Mi Ciudad Lyrics in English Luis Miguel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Ciudad by Luis Miguel from Spanish to English.
Mi ciudad es chinampa
My city is a chinampa
En un lago escondido
In a hidden lake
Es cenzontle que busca
It's a mockingbird looking
En donde hacer nido
For a place to nest
Reguilete que engaña la vista al girar
A spinning top that deceives the eye when it turns
Baila el son del tequila y de su valentía
It dances to the rhythm of tequila and its bravery
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
It's a rider risking their life
En un lienzo de fiesta y color
In a canvas of celebration and color
Mi ciudad es la cuna
My city is the cradle
De un niño dormido
Of a sleeping child
Es un bosque de espejos
It's a forest of mirrors
Que cuida un castillo
Guarding a castle
Monumentos de gloria que velan su altar
Monuments of glory watching over its altar
Es un sol con penacho y sarape veteado
It's a sun with a headdress and veined sarape
Que en las noches se viste de charro
That dresses up as a charro in the nights
Y se pone a cantarle al amor
And sings to love
Por las tardes con la lluvia
In the afternoons with the rain
Se baña su piel morena
Its brown skin bathes
Y al desatarse las trenzas
And as the braids come undone
Sus ojos tristes se cierran
Its sad eyes close
Mi ciudad es la cuna
My city is the cradle
De un niño dormido
Of a sleeping child
Es un bosque de espejos
It's a forest of mirrors
Que cuida un castillo
Guarding a castle
Monumentos de gloria que velan su altar
Monuments of glory watching over its altar
Baila al son del tequila y de su valentía
It dances to the rhythm of tequila and its bravery
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
It's a rider risking their life
En un lienzo de fiesta y color
In a canvas of celebration and color
Es un sol con penacho y sarape veteado
It's a sun with a headdress and veined sarape
Que en las noches se viste de charro
That dresses up as a charro in the nights
Y se pone a cantarle al amor
And sings to love
Baila al son del tequila y de su valentía
It dances to the rhythm of tequila and its bravery
Es jinete que arriesga la vida
It's a rider risking their life
En un lienzo de fiesta y color
In a canvas of celebration and color
Es un sol con penacho y sarape veteado
It's a sun with a headdress and veined sarape
Que en las noches se viste de charro
That dresses up as a charro in the nights
Y se pone a cantarle al amor, al amor
And sings to love, to love
