Que la patria os contempla orgullosa; No temáis una muerte gloriosa, Que morir por la patria es vivir. En cadenas vivir es vivir En afrenta y oprobio sumido. Del clarín escuchad el sonido: ¡A las armas, valientes, corred! En cadenas vivir es vivir En afrenta y oprobio sumido. Del clarín escuchad el sonido: ¡A las armas, valientes, corred!
