In English: " In the bicentennial of the beginning of independence, the people of Mexico render homage to one of its greatest leaders, the one that fell to Hidalgo Acaudillo the fight and offered his life for an independent Mexico. Internal glory to Morelos and the heroes that gave us the fatherland."
