Lyrics: Guadalajara 

Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Guadalajara

Tienes el alma de provinciana
Hueles a limpio a rosa temprana

Ave de jara fresca del rio
Son mil palomos to case rio
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Sabes a pura tierra mojada

Ay, ja, ja, ay, ja, ja
Aj, ja, ja, ay, ja, ja

Aj colomitos lejanos aj ojitos
De agua hermanos

Ay colomitos inolvidables
Inolvidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia, des de la loma, ir
Nos hacia, hasta Zapopam

Ay misermano ay-ja-ja Mexicano

Ay colomitos inolvidables
Inolvidables como las tardes
En que la lluvia, des de la loma, ir
Nos hacia, hasta Zapopam

Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Guadalajara

Guadalajara, Guadalajara
