Lyrics

FuÃ soldado de Francisco Villa
De aquel hombre de fama mundial
Y aunque estuvo sentado en la silla
Lo envidiaba la presidencial
Ahora vivo yo por las orillas
Recordando aquel tiempo inmortal, Inmortal
Ahora vivo yo por las orillas
Recordando a Villa
AllÃ¡ por Parral
Yo fuÃ miembro de aquellos dorados
Que por suerte llegÃ© a ser mayor
Por la lucha quedamos lisiados
Defendiendo a la patria y honor
Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
Que peleamos con el invasor, invasor
Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
De aquellos dorados
Que yo fuÃ mayor
Mi caballo que tanto montaba
En Jimenez la muerte encontrÃ³
Una bala que a mi me tocaba
A su cuerpo se lo atravezÃ³
Al morir de dolor relinchaba
Por la patria su vida entregÃ³
EntregÃ³
Al morir de dolor relinchaba
Como le lloraba cuando se muriÃ³
Pancho Villa lo llevo grabado
En mi mente y en mi corazÃ³n
Aunque a veces me vÃ derrotado
Por la tropas del Gran Obregon
Siempre andube como fiel soldado
Hasta el fin de la revoluciÃ³n
RevoluciÃ³n
Siempre andube como fiel soldado
Que siempre ha luchado
Al pie del caÃ±on

Lyrics translation

He was a soldier of Francisco Villa
Of that world-famous man
And though he was sitting in the chair
He was envied by the presidential
Now I live by the banks
Remembering that immortal, Immortal time
Now I live by the banks
Remembering the Villa
Welcome to <url>
I was a member of those golden ones
That luckily I became older
We are crippled by the struggle
Defending the fatherland and honor
Today I remember past times
That we fight the invader, invader
Today I remember past times
Of those golden ones
That I was older
My horse that rode so much
In Jimenez death found
A bullet that touched me
His body went through it.
As he died of pain, he shrieked
For the Fatherland his life gave
Welcome to <url>
As he died of pain, he shrieked
How he cried when he died
Pancho Villa has it engraved
In my mind and in my heart
Although sometimes I will be defeated
By the troops of the Great Obregon
Always walk as a faithful soldier
Until the end of the revolution
Revolution
Always walk as a faithful soldier
Who has always fought
At the foot of the canyon
