[edit] Anthem (Himno)

By Dr. Francisco Manrique Cabrera

Con alma henchida de amor
y ensueño erguido ante el porvenir
tremolamos la canción
de esperanza juvenil.

A Dios pedimos saber
que alumbre a nuestro país
de fuerzas a nuestra fe
que aliente a nuestro vivir.

Comerío, montaña en flor
donde El Plata canta sin par
cantos de miel y amor
voces del tabacal.

A Dios pedimos saber
que alumbre a nuestro país
de fuerzas a nuestra fe
que aliente a nuestro vivir.
