Lyrics

[uaaaaaaaaaaaah y jajaja
'ora mis muchachitos]
Cuantos jilgueros y cenzontles veo pasar
Pero que triste cantan esas avecillas
Van a Chihuahua a llorar sobre Parral
Donde descansa el general Francisco Villa
Lloran al ver aquella tumba
Donde descansa para siempre el general
Sin un clavel ni flor alguna
Solo hojas secas que le ofrenda el vendaval
De sus dorados nadie quiere recordar
Que Villa duerme bajo el cielo de chihuahua
Solo las aves que gorjean sobre Parral
Van a llorar sobre la tumba abandonada
Solo uno fue que no a olvidado
Y a su sepulcro su oración va a murmurar
Amigo fiel y buen soldado
Gravó en su tumba estoy presente general
Canten jilgueros y cenzontles sin parar
Y que sus trinos se oigan en la serranía
Y cuando vuelen sobre el cielo de Parral
Lloren con migo por el gran Francisco Villa
Adiós adiós mis avecillas
Yo también quiero recordarle a mi nación
Que aya en parral descansa Villa
En el regazo del lugar que tanto amó

Lyrics translation

[uaaaaaaaaaaaaah and hahaha
'now my muchachitos]
How many goldfinches and cenzontles I see pass by
But how sad those birds sing
They go to Chihuahua to cry over Parral
Where general Francisco Villa rests
They cry when they see that grave
Where the general rests forever
Without a carnation or a flower
Only dry leaves to be offered by the gale
Of their gold no one wants to remember
That Villa sleeps under the chihuahua Sky
Only birds chirping over Parral
They're going to cry over the abandoned grave
Only one was he didn't forget
And to his grave his prayer will murmur
Faithful friend and good soldier
Engraved on his grave I am present general
Sing goldfinches and censontles nonstop
And may their trills be heard in the mountains
And when they fly over the sky of Parral
Weep with migo for the Great Francisco Villa
Bye bye my birdies
I also want to remind my nation
That aya in parral rests Villa
On the lap of the place he loved so much
