Lyrics
Cuantos jilgueros y sinsontes veo pasar
Pero que tristes cantan esas avecillas
Van a Chiguagua a llorar sobre Parral
Donde descanza el General Francisco Villa
Lloran al ver aquella tumba
Donde descanza para siempre el general
Sin un clavel, sin flor alguna
Sólo hojas secas que le ofrenda el bendaval
¡Viva mi General Francisco Villa, viva
De sus dorados nadie quire recordar
Que Villa duerme bajo el cielo de Chiguagua
Solo las aves que gorgean sobre Parral
Van a llorar sobre su tumba abandonada
Solo uno fue el olvidado
Y a su sepulcro su oración va a murmurar
Amigo fiel, y buen soldado
Grabó en su tumba estoy presente General
¡Presente mi General Francisco Villa, presente
Canten jilgueros y sinsontes sin parar
Y que sus trinos se oigan en la serrania
Y cuando vuelen bajo el cielo de Parrar
Lloren conmigo por el Gran Francisco Villla
Adios, Adios, mis avecilllaras
Yo tambien quiero recoradrle a mi nación
Que hallá en Parral descanza Villa
En el regazo de aquel lugar que tanto amó
Lyrics translation
How many goldfinches and sinsons I see pass by
But how sad those birds sing
They go to Chiguagua to cry over Parral
Where General Francisco Villa descends
They cry when they see that grave
Where the general descends forever
Without a carnation, without any flowers
Only dried leaves offered by the bendaval
Long Live My General Francisco Villa, Long Live
Of their gold no one wants to remember
That Villa sleeps under the sky of Chiguagua
Only birds that gurgle over Parral
They're going to cry over their abandoned grave
Only one was forgotten
And to his grave his prayer will murmur
Faithful friend, and good soldier
Recorded in his grave I am present General
Present my General Francisco Villa, present
Sing goldfinches and sinsontes without stopping
And may their trills be heard in the mountains
And when they fly under the sky to Parrar
Weep with me for the Great Francisco Villla
Goodbye, Goodbye, My avecillllaras
I also want to go through my nation
What you find in Parral descanza Villa
On the lap of that place I loved so much
