Lyrics
Siete Leguas, el caballo
Que Villa más estimaba
Cuando oía silbar los trenes
Se paraba y relinchaba
Siete Leguas, el caballo
Que Villa más estimaba
En la estación de Irapuato
Cantaban los Horizontes
Allí combatió formal
La brigada Bracamontes
En la estación de Irapuato
Cantaban los Horizontes
Oye tú, Francisco Villa
¿Qué dice tu corazón?
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Que atacaste a Paredón
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Cuando tomaste a Torreón
Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbó la locomotora;
¡Arriba, arriba muchachos
Pongan la ametralladora!
Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbó la locomotora
Adiós torres de Chihuahua
Adiós torres de cantera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A quitarles la frontera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A devolver la frontera
Lyrics translation
Seven leagues, the horse
Which Villa I most valued
When I heard the trains whistling
It stood and flashed
Seven leagues, the horse
Which Villa I most valued
At Irapuato station
They sang the Horizons
There he fought formally
The Bracamontes brigade
At Irapuato station
They sang the Horizons
Hey You, Francisco Villa
What does your heart say?
You don't remember brave anymore
That you attacked Paredon
You don't remember brave anymore
When you took Torreon
About three o'clock in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled;
Up, Up, Boys!
Put the machine gun on!
About three o'clock in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled
Goodbye Chihuahua towers
Goodbye quarry towers
Francisco Villa is here
To take the border away from them
Francisco Villa is here
To return the border
