Tierra Querida Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tierra Querida by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
Beloved land that has gifted me so much
From the morning your kisses, my sweet breath
I've breathed your air and your longing
I've tasted the waters of your dew
Beloved land that has gifted me so much
How many stories in branches we intertwine
And in your countryside heartbeats with golden sun
I feel my soul grown from your embraces
You are my land, my lovely sky
When in a glass of wine my life drifts away
You are my land, sweet babe
I promise you endless love, always with you
From the richness and your soils so generous
I drink the divine charm that the gods bring
I'm your treasure that blossoms in the wind
I come to tell you 'I love you'
You are my land, my lovely sky
When in a glass of wine my life drifts away
You are my land, sweet babe
I promise you endless love, always with you
Lalalara
Larairarara

You are my land, sweet babe
I promise you endless love, always with you

SONG MEANING

Tierra Querida feels like a tender love letter that Natalia Lafourcade writes to her Mexican homeland. Through poetic images — morning kisses, golden-sun fields, fresh dew, and even a celebratory glass of wine — she thanks the earth for every breath, flavor, and memory it has gifted her. The song shimmers with nostalgia and gratitude, showing how the land has shaped her stories, nourished her spirit, and embraced her like a lifelong friend.

At its heart, the chorus turns the country itself into a beloved partner: “Eres tú mi tierra, cariñito lindo”. By promising “amor infinito,” Natalia pledges eternal devotion, just as you might to someone you cherish. Listening to Tierra Querida is an invitation to feel the warmth of Mexico’s landscapes, taste its rich wine, and remember that places we call home can be as alive, generous, and lovable as any person.
