Independence

Mexico fought for freedom,
Against French, they stood in wisdom.
Losing was not an option,
After independence was a notion.
Celebrating unity in diversity,
On Cinco de Mayo, brings us prosperity.

Nachos, oh nachos,
A perfect food, you bet, those.

The sun is shining and birds are singing,
Outdoors, Cinco De Mayo is where moments bring.

Celebrating Cinco De Mayo

Cheers go up, in celebration of a day
In Mexico's history, we now rejoice and play
No invasion could break the spirit of the land
Coronas and margaritas in our hand
Ole! we shout, with each new toast
Delighting in the memories loved most
Enjoying Cinco de Mayo - a true fiesta
May we long remember this day,esta!

Fiesta Time

Food aplenty, the colors dazzle bright,
In streets and homes, music takes flight
Everyone's come together for fiesta time
Standing proud with mariachi rhythms in mind
Taking the time to celebrate Mexico's day
An event that never fails to keep the grim at bay
Margaritas flowing, friends and family unite
Oh, what a wonderful Cinco De Mayo sight!

Remembering the Battle

Recalling history, we stand in awe
Eager to reflect on the brave and bold
Making sure the memory stays evergreen
Everyone reminded of the resilience we've seen
Mexico's freedom won, the battle fought
Behind the stories, emotions fraught
Bells toll, in honor of the valor shown
Every Cinco De Mayo, we bow to Mexico's throne.

The Battle of Puebla

Cinco De Mayo, a day we celebrate
In memory of a battle that altered fate
Now let us honor the brave and the bold
Cinco De Mayo, a story worth being told
Operating with fewer men and resources
Desperate and outnumbered, they still put up forces
Eager to protect their land from foreign hands
Mexico stood strong, fought hard and took a stand
Against a French army, more than twice their size
Yielding to them? No way, that was unwise!
Optimistic General Ignacio Zaragoza
With his fearless leadership, he brought hope and closure
On May 5th, 1862, he led his troops
And in a chaotic battle, they defeated the troupe
Holding back the French from reaching their goal
Obtaining independence, they achieved their role
Let's raise a glass to Mexico's victory
And remember their triumph with utmost dignity
Yay to the brave men who fought for freedom
On Cinco De Mayo, let's toast to their kingdom!
