Corrido de Pancho Villa

I was a soldier of Francisco Villa
Of that man of immortal fame
Who, although he sat in the chair
Would not envy the presidential.
Now I live there by the shore
Remembering that immortal time,
Ayayay,
Now I live there by the shore
Remembering Villa there in Parral.

I was one of those golden ones
Who with time became a major
In the fight we were left disabled
Defending the homeland and honor.
Today I remember the past times
That we fought against the invader
Ayayay,
Today I remember the past times
Of those golden ones that I was a major.

My horse that I rode so much
In Jiménez death reached
A bullet that was meant for me
Passed through his body.
Dying in pain he neighed
For the homeland he gave his life
Ayayay,
Dying in pain he neighed
How I cried when he died.

Pancho Villa, I carry you engraved
In my mind and in my heart
And although sometimes I saw myself defeated
By the forces of Álvaro Obregón
I always walked as a loyal soldier
Until the end of the revolution
Ayayay,
I always walked as a loyal soldier
Who has fought so much at the foot of the cannon.
