The protagonist is ready for a guerilla warfare, and he prays that his partner will pray for him when he dies because he's not sure if he will go to heaven. He and his fellow soldiers are ready to fight, and he would rather die standing up with pride than to crawl on the ground. He raises his fist and bows his head in honor of his ancestors. In the first verse, he talks about not caring about being decorated and that they will fight the enemy mercilessly. In the second verse, he talks about wearing military uniforms and fighting for his brothers and country. He believes that war is ruthless, and they will make their weapons speak for them. He puts aside his emotions and is prepared to die in anonymity. In the chorus, he asserts that they are ready for war, and he would rather die on his feet with pride than to crawl on the ground. In the third verse, he talks about the war in his mind and how they all dream of becoming rich. They stay prepared by reloading their ammunition, and while others play the violin, they play the guitar. He and his partner fight together, and he has proven himself on the streets. He dreams of a bigger world. In the chorus, he repeats that they are ready for war and that he would rather die standing up with pride than to crawl on the ground. He raises his fist and bows his head in honor of his ancestors.
