Ballad of Pancho Villa

Corrido de Pancho Villa

Today our Mexico, February 23Hoy nuestro mexico febrero 23
Wilson sent us 6 thousand AmericansNos mando wilson 6 mil americanos
3 thousand horses, 200 airplanes3 mil caballos 200 aeroplanos
Searching for Villa throughout the countryBuscando a villa por todo el pais

And expeditions began to emergeY comenzaron a salir expediciones
The airplanes began to flyLos aeroplanos comenzaron a volar
In different and various directionsPor distintas y varias direcciones
Searching for Villa, wanting to defeat himBuscando a villa queriendolo tronar

Francisco Villa on all the roadsFrancisco villa por todos los caminos
He placed a tomb saying here he isPonia una tumba disiendo aqui esta ya
The brave, the brave Pancho VillaEl valiente el valiente pancho villa
That's why they could never find himPor eso nunca lo podian encontrar

What would the Americans thinkQue pensarian ay los americanos
Who intend to conquer our landQue nuestro suelo pretenden conquistar
If they have many cannonsSi ellos tienen muchisimos cañones
The Mexicans have the main thingLos mexicanos tienen lo principal

When the neighbors arrived in ChihuahuaCuando llegaron los vecinos a chiuahua
And on the outskirts of the town of ParralY en las afueras del pueblo de parral
Pancho Villa set up an ambushPancho villa les puso una emboscada
From which none could escapeEn que ninguno se pudo escapar

They were taken to the Chihuahua desertSe los llevaron al desierto de chiuahua
On the outskirts of the town of ParralEn las afueras del pueblo de parral
Pancho Villa set up an ambushPancho villa les puso una emboscada
From which none could escapeEn que ninguno se pudo escapar

What would the Americans thinkQue pensarian ay los americanos
That fighting was a karki danceQue combatir era un baile de karki
With their faces covered in shameCon la cara cubierta de verguenza
They had to return to their countryQue tubieron que volver a su pais

I was born in the Sierra de ChihuahuaYo soy nacido el la sierra de chiuahua
I am the most loyal soldier of the battalionSoy el salodado mas fiel del batallon
Long live Villa, long live his golden onesViva villa que vivan sus dorados
And long live the revolutionY que viva la revolucion
