An additional 2017 José Alfredo Jiménez Marker | Additional Description:
José Alfredo Jiménez
Porque lo cantaron nuestros padres. Porque lo cantamos nosotros. Porque lo cantan nuestros hijos y esperamos que lo canten nuestros nietos. Porque es el hombre que supo comprender el alma de los mexicanos. Porque le cantó a su tierra, al amor y al desamor, a la vida y a la tristeza. Porque vivió con la intensidad de la pasión y murió como muere su pueblo. ¡Porque sigue siendo el Rey!
XVIII Homenaje Anual. Noviembre de 2017

“CAJA”
English translation:
José Alfredo Jiménez
Because our parents sang it. Because we sing it. Because our children sing it and we hope our grandchildren will too. Because he is the man who knew how to understand the soul of Mexicans. Because he sang to his land, to love and to indifference, to life and sadness. Because he lived with an intensity of passion and died as his people die. Because he is still the King!
