Himno Guadalupano
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al pasar Jesucristo redentor.
Un nuevo sol para nosotros brilla,
Sol del amor, del amor.
¡Hostia, sol del amor!
Tu luz inflama el corazón de México leal,
El corazón del pueblo que te ama,
En tu paso, en tu paso triunfal.
Triunfe tu amor, ¡oh sol sacramentado!
Del corazón de un pueblo siempre fiel.
Disipa ya las nieblas del pecado,
Ven a reinar, ven a reinar en él.
¡Hostia, sol del amor!
Tu luz inflama el corazón de México leal,
El corazón del pueblo que te ama,
El corazón de un pueblo que te aclama
En tu paso, en tu paso triunfal.
The lyrics of Pedro Infante’s “Himno Guadalupano” is a religious anthem devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Patroness of Mexico. The song opens with the lines, “Cantad, cantad, la patria se arrodilla al pasar Jesucristo redentor” meaning “Sing, sing, the homeland kneels at the passing of Jesus Christ the Redeemer”. The song is a call to celebrate the arrival of Jesus Christ, who is represented as a new sun shining on Mexico. The sun is a metaphor for love, which shines down on the hearts of the loyal Mexican people.
The chorus, “¡Hostia, sol del amor! Tu luz inflama el corazón de México leal,” refers to the sun as the Host, or consecrated wafer in Catholicism, symbolizing the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The lyrics go on to address the people’s love for the Host and their desire for it to reign in their hearts, dissipating the sins and bringing clarity. The themes of the song are religious devotion, love for country, and the search for forgiveness and redemption through faith.
