    Ya Cepeda, el hombre ilustre 
    que nos legara en herencia 
    la Libertad y la Ciencia 
    fuentes de ventura y paz 
    consagra con noble anhelo 
    para eternizar su gloria 
    a su querida memoria 
    cantos de felicidad. 
    Escuchad… Su augusto nombre 
    por doquier repite el eco… 
    Todo el pueblo yucateco 
    honra hoy al libertador 
    y en dulce y sentida trova 
    las niñas del Instituto 
    también le pagan tributo 
    de gratitud y de amor
