It was the park that didn't workFue el parque el que no servía
Villa tells ObregónVilla le dice a Obregón
I would like to see you face to faceQuisiera verte de frente
One of the two is extraSobra uno de los dos

That coming out chest to chestQue saliendo pecho a pecho
Useless he could never beInútil jamás podría

For your exploits they engravedPor tus asañas gravarón
Your name in letters of goldTu nombre con letras de oro
