Viva Villa
Serge Gainsbourg
Viva Villa
Two rifles, four pistols
And a switchblade
Are going to Guadalajara
It's for a famous carnival
That this arsenal is coming
Whose name is Pancho Villa
Soon at the foot of Calvary
He'll say a short prayer
Then he'll resume his curses
And his path and his song
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
Four rifles, ten pistols
Fifteen switchblades
Are coming from Guadalajara
It's for a famous carnival
That this whole arsenal is coming
They're looking for Pancho Villa
If they go to Calvary
They'll find the revolutionary
They'll make him see reason
Or swallow his song
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
Two rifles, four pistols
And a switchblade
Went to Guadalajara
It was a famous carnival
When the arsenal was blown up
Which was called Pancho Villa
He is there at the foot of Calvary
He has just bitten the dust
The vultures will leave him
Only bones and spurs
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!
