¡Viva viernes!     (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)

La fecha es el primero (1st) de noviembre del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is November 1, 2024.)

We start this month being serenaded by legend Vicente Fernández to the legendary Mexican song México Lindo y Querido (Beautiful and Beloved Mexico).

“Voz de la guitarra mía al despertar la mañana quiere cantar su alegría a mi tierra mexicana” (The voice of my guitar upon waking up the morning wants to sing its joy to my Mexican land).

“Yo le canto a tus volcanes, a tus praderas y flores que son como talismanes del amor de mis amores” (I sing to your volcanos, to your meadows and flowers that are like talismans of the love of my loves).

“México lindo y querido, si muero lejos de ti que digan que estoy dormido y que me traigan aquí” (Beautiful and beloved Mexico, if I die far from you, let them say that I’m asleep and bring me here).

“Que me entierren en la sierra al pie de los magueyales y que me cubra esta tierra que es cuna de hombres cabales” (Let them bury me in the mountain at the foot of the lands of agave and may the land that is the cradle of upright men cover me).

¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!)  Sing along to la letra (the lyrics).

¡Que tengas un viernes vigente!     (May you have a prevailing Friday!)

L. A. Feliz
