Like the sun that crowns the Matlalcuéyetl


With a halo of almost divine light
Tlaxcala is the future of splendor
That makes us invincible our faith ...
Your past of prodigious feats
That illuminates your destiny
Is the force that drives vigorously
The creative longing in our being.

The indigenous tribes founded you


And his race in ours was overturned
And it was the brutal clash with the Hispanic
The crucible your spirit forged ...

You were the unparalleled cradle of


miscegenation
Which flourished in the nascent country
You melted the steel and the plumage!
You were the root of the nation!
