Cantar del Regimiento
envuelto en mi bandera estás,
con ella vas al viento
hablándole de libertad.

Cantar del Regimiento,
mil vidas que se apartarán;
que me cuide la Virgen Morena,
que me cuide y me deje pelear.

Ya se va mi regimiento,
va cantando, ¡sabe Dios si volverá!

It looks as if there's no definite terminology for this? Checking Google, I see

triple-digit date
repeating-number date
date alignment
...
end of the world (oops!)

Hope you can stick around until 01/01/2101 !

We go day, month, year. Europe goes month, day year.

So 11/12/13 happens a day shy of a month before Europe in the US.
