Repeat After me.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.

My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than any enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me.

I will... My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become part of each other. We will.... Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is Colombia and there is no enemy, but Peace.

Repite después de mi.

Este es mi rifle.
Hay muchos como él, pero este es el mío.
Mi rifle es mi mejor amigo. Es mi vida.
Tengo que dominarlo, como debo dominar mi vida.

sin Mi . mi fusil no sirve para nada. Sin mi rifle, soy inútil.
Tengo que despedir a mi rifle verdad.
Debo disparar recto a mi enemigo que está tratando de matarme.
Tengo que dispararle antes de que me dispare. lo hare...

Ante Dios juro este credo.
Mi fusil y yo somos los defensores de mi país.
Nosotros somos los amos de nuestro enemigo.
Nosotros somos los salvadores de mi vida.
Que así sea, hasta que no hay un enemigo, sino la paz.
