In 1891, in a family gathering at the home of Fernando Villalpando, there was a bet between Villapando and Genaro Codina, which consisted of writing a military march.

[2] Coro: Prestos estad a combatir Oid llamad, suena el clarín Las armas pronto preparad Y la victoria disputad.

Chorus: Be ready to fight Hear the call, the bugle sounds Prepare the weapons quickly And strive for victory.

Prestos estad, suena el clarín Anuncia la próxima lid Vibrando está su clamor Marchemos con gran valor.

Stanza II and V: As a hurricane in its fury The waves breaking on the sea With impetuous drive and with bravery Move forward on the enemy.
