Assignment 5b

Lyrics
Himno Guadalupano
(2/4 ranchera rhythm)

Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana (2x)
La Guadalupana (2x)
La Guadalupana bajó al Tepeyac.
La Guadalupana (2x)
La Guadalupana bajó al Tepeyac.
Su llegada llenó de alegría (2x)
De paz y armonía (2x)
De paz y armonía y de libertad.
De paz y armonía (2x)
De paz y armonía y de libertad.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
Por el monte pasaba Juan Diego (2x)
Y acercose luego (2x)
Y acercose luego al oir cantar.
Y acercose luego (2x)
Y acercose luego al oir cantar.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
Juan Dieguito la Virgen la dijo (2x)
Este cerro elijo (2x)
Este cerro elijo para hacer mi altar.
Este cerro elijo (2x)
Este cerro elijo para hacer mi altar.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
Suplicante juntaba las manos (2x)
Era mexicana (2x)
Era mexicana su porte y su faz.
Era mexicana (2x)
Era mexicana su porte y su faz.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
En la tilma entre rosas pintadas (2x)
Su imagen amada (2x)
Su imagen se digno dejar.
Su imagen amada (2x)
Su imagen se digno dejar.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
Desde entonces para el mexicano (2x)
Ser Guadalupano (2x)
Ser Guadalupano es algo esencial.
Ser Guadalupano (2x)
Ser Guadalupano es algo esencial.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
Madrecita de los mexicanos (2x)
Que estás en el cielo (2x)
Que estás en el cielo ruega a Dios por nos.
Que estás en el cielo (2x)
Que estás en el cielo ruega a Dios por nos.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...
En sus penas se postra de hinojos (2x)
Y eleva sus ojos (2x)
Y eleva sus ojos hacia el Tepeyac.
Y eleva sus ojos (2x)
Y eleva sus ojos hacia el Tepeyac.
Desde el cielo una hermosa mañana...

“La Guadalupana” on you tube

2.Contains a web link to the actual piece (art, photo, architecture, pottery, etc.)

3.When I was doing component A I did not come across this piece, but I did further research to get this. Since December 12th is right around the corner, at my church they handed out the songs that will be sung on that day. This was one of the songs and I decided to write about this. This connects to my study of humanities because “La Virgen de Guadalupe” is like a shrine to every Mexican. A flag with her image was carried by soldiers during war.

4.Contains the following analytical elements:

a.In the lyrics, of this song I see that they refer to the Tepeyac, which is where the first apparition happened. This is where Juan Diego saw her. The lyrics also mention Juan Diego, also about this being all Mexicans lady. This work is made of love, appreciation and words.
b.These lyrics are about what we, Mexicans, believe our lady is. It shows how much we care about her and how much she means not only to each individual but to the country as a whole.
c.The reason why I choose this is because this is one of my favorite songs that we sing in “Las Mananitas” to our Virgin. When I heard this song on you tube I honestly got chills that ran throughout my body. This is a very emotional time period for all Mexicans, but for me especially because it is my great grandmothers birthday on December 12th. She has already passed away which makes this day very hard.
d.The reason I like this song is because it brings everyone closer together. People for all over the world are in a place singing to her becoming one instead of millions. I would love to know in greater detail everything that happen and how she became who she is. I would love to travel to Mexico City and go to the “Basilica” where her shrine is.
