Mexico National Team Chants and National Anthem Lyrics
Letras de los cánticos de la afición de la selección mexicana y el himno nacional - Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026
Himno Nacional Mexicano (National Anthem of Mexico)
Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
el acero aprestad y el bridón.
Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra,
al sonoro rugir del cañón.
Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra,
al sonoro rugir del cañón!
Ciña ¡oh Patria! tus sienes de oliva
de la paz el arcángel divino,
que en el cielo tu eterno destino
por el dedo de Dios se escribió.
Mas si osare un extraño enemigo
profanar con su planta tu suelo,
piensa ¡oh Patria querida! que el cielo
un soldado en cada hijo te dio,
un soldado en cada hijo te dio!
Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
el acero aprestad y el bridón.
Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra,
al sonoro rugir del cañón.
Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra,
al sonoro rugir del cañón!

Translation:
Mexicans, at the cry of war,
ready the steel and the steed.
And may the earth tremble at its centers,
at the resounding roar of the cannon.
And may the earth tremble at its centers,
at the resounding roar of the cannon!
Gird, O Fatherland, your brow with olive
by the divine archangel of peace,
for in heaven your eternal destiny
was written by the finger of God.
But if a foreign enemy should dare
to profane your soil with his sole,
think, O beloved Fatherland, that heaven
has given you a soldier in every son,
has given you a soldier in every son!
Mexicans, at the cry of war,
ready the steel and the steed.
And may the earth tremble at its centers,
at the resounding roar of the cannon.
And may the earth tremble at its centers,
at the resounding roar of the cannon!
- The "Himno Nacional Mexicano" is an intense stadium march sung in a strict Chorus ➔ Verse 1 ➔ Chorus format, where fans stand with their right hand flat, palm down, across their chests. The loudest stadium roar hits on the line "Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra" (May the earth tremble), exploding on the word "cañón!" Funly enough, the lyricist only wrote it because his fiancée locked him in a bedroom in 1853 until he finished, and today, messing up the words or singing it out of order carries steep government fines.

This chant is about supporting Hirving Lozano, one of Mexico’s most popular soccer players. Fans repeatedly chant “El Chucky Lozano” to hype him up, show admiration, and create energy in the stadium during matches.
Hirving "Chucky" Lozano earned his famous nickname during his youth academy days at Pachuca because of his mischievous habit of hiding under his teammates' beds and in the team bus seats to scare them, just like the notorious doll from the horror movie franchise Child's Play.
And these are all the chants we have listed for the Mexican national football team.
