Lyrics
A Irlanda digo a mi juicio,
para que sepan paisanos:
mil gracias por el servicio
de pelear con alma y manos,
el grupo de San Patricio
ya son héroes mexicanos.
Hay recuerdos bien sabidos,
que por desertores fue
y por Estados Unidos
los ahorcaron les diré
y a los que quedaron vivos
los marcaron con la D.
Porque la verdad así es por esa valiente acción
Mexico con honradez
y de todo corazón
con el país irlandés
tiene buena relación.
Lyrics translation
To Ireland I say in my opinion,
so that they know countrymen:
thank you very much for the service
of fighting with soul and hands,
the group of St. Patrick
they're already Mexican heroes.
There are well-known memories,
that by deserters was
and by the United States
they hanged them I'll tell them
and those who were left alive
they marked them with the D.
Because the truth is so because of that brave action
Mexico with honesty
and heartily
with the Irish country
you have a good relationship.
