Seven Leagues

Miguel Aceves Mejía

Siete leguas

Siete leguas el caballo
Que Villa más estimaba
Cuando oía silbar los trenes
Se paraba y relinchaba
Siete leguas, el caballo
Que Villa más estimaba

En la estación de Irapuato
Cantaban los horizontes
allí combatió formal
La brigada bracamontes
En la estación de Irapuato
Cantaban los horizontes

Oye tú, Francisco Villa
Qué dice tu corazón?
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Cuando tomaste a Torreón
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Que atacaste a paredón

Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbó la locomotora
Arriba, arriba muchachos
Pongan la ametralladora!
Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbó la locomotora

Adiós torres de Chihuahua
Adiós torres de cantera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A quitarles lo Pantera
Ay vino Francisco Villa
A devolver lá Frontera!

Seven Leagues

Seven leagues the horse
That Villa valued the most
When he heard the trains whistle
He stopped and neighed
Seven leagues, the horse
That Villa valued the most

At the Irapuato station
The horizons sang
There the Bracamontes brigade fought formally
At the Irapuato station
The horizons sang

Listen, Francisco Villa
What does your heart say?
Don't you remember, brave one
When you took Torreón?
Don't you remember, brave one
That you attacked the wall?

Around three in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled
Up, up boys
Put the machine gun!
Around three in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled

Goodbye towers of Chihuahua
Goodbye stone towers
Francisco Villa has come
To take away what's yours
Oh, Francisco Villa has come
To return the Border!
