Lyrics
Yo le puse Grano de Oro
A mi caballo alazán
Era de mi fierro criollo
Era hermoso mi animal
Más se lo di a Pancho Villa
En su santo allá en Parral
Pancho Villa le dio el grado
Le dio el grado de mayor
Cuando lo salvó en Celaya
De las balas de Obregón
Corrió con su carga en lomo
Hasta llegar a Torreón
El valor de Pancho Villa
Y las patas del corcel
Eran el ciclón norteño
Que llamaban Lucifer
Pero era Francisco Villa
En su caballo más fiel
Una vez se lo robaron
Los huertistas en Parral
Más el potro enfurecido
No dejó de reparar
Hasta quitarse al jinete
Regresando a su corral
Las metrallas enemigas
Y hasta uno que otro cañón
Los lazaba Pancho Villa
En plena revolución
Grano de Oro los jalaba
Relinchando de valor
Cuando mataron a Villa
En Hidalgo del Parral
En Canutillo el caballo
Lo esperaba en el corral
Murió con la silla puesta
Esperando al general
Lyrics translation
I gave him a grain of gold.
To my horse sorrel
It was from my iron Creole
My animal was beautiful
More I gave to Pancho Villa
In his Saint there in Parral
Pancho Villa gave him the degree
He gave him the rank of major
When you saved him in Celaya
From the bullets of Obregon
He ran with his load on his back
Until you reach Torreon
The value of Pancho Villa
And the legs of the steed
They were the northern cyclone
That they called Lucifer
But it was Francisco Villa
On his most faithful horse
It was stolen once.
The gardeners in Parral
More the angry foal
He didn't stop repairing
To take off the rider
Returning to his corral
Enemy shrapnel
And even one cannon
The lazaba Pancho Villa
In the midst of revolution
Gold grain pulled them
Winking value
When Villa was killed
In Hidalgo del Parral
In Canutillo the horse
I was waiting for him in the corral.
He died with the chair on.
Waiting for the general
