Land of brave warriors who were formed in your bosom,
great temples were raised toward the sun in your honor.
A spirit of fire kindles in your heart;
it is the eagle that I now see soaring high.
You are our Mother, our Father land, our Mexico!

(Until Our New Sun Rises)
Mexico will flourish again when I come to reign on my throne.
Our Sun has disappeared.
Our Sun hid its face and has left us in complete darkness. But we know that it will return, that it will come out again and will illuminate us once more. |

The Destiny of Mexico
Luis Angel López Salazar
If German and Japanese technologies are recognized everywhere in the world,
imagine how wonderful and amazing your discoveries will be
when you awaken from your slumber,
Guardians of Time!
Europeans owe their progress and prosperity
to the riches of America and the slavery of the Indians.
They were indeed astonished
by your greatness and splendor
when they came to “discover” you.
But they destroyed your civilization to possess the gold:
they murdered your wise men and burned your books
because they could not understand them.
In the meantime, your brave warriors died from diseases
in a dirty and cowardly war.
But they did not annihilate your heart.
Your ancestors’ millenary wisdom survives in you,
in your blood.
You only need to dare to dream again.
Believe in yourselves and create.
Fulfill your destiny as the People of the Sun.
