The brave of '14*
I was born a Zacatecano1
I was born near here,
I offer everyone a hand
because that's how we are here.
I was a revolutionary
and I fought against Barrón2
he was an eccentric old man,
long live the revolution.
I told Francisco Villa
"let's get this over with,
we will come in from the edge3
in the name of God.
Long live my general Francisco Villa.
Manuel Banda10 in my country,
with Aguirre Benavides11
undeniably they triumphed,
the glorious state of Zacatecas
and the hill of La Bufa.

- 2. General Luis Medina Barrón was a Mexican military man who participated in the Mexican Revolution.
- 3. from the way it's said, it seems to me like this is General Felipe Ángeles (who planned the attack) and they attacked from all sides because Barrón's men were stationed between two hills; La Bufa and El Grillo.
- 4. General Pánfilo Natera, a general for Venustiano Carranza.
- 5. Lieutenant José Carrillo
