Viva Villa

Two rifles, four pistolsDeux fusils, quatre pistolets
And a switchbladeEt un couteau à cran d'arrêt
Are going to GuadalajaraS'en vont à Guadalajara
It's for a famous carnivalC'est pour un fameux carnaval
That this arsenal is comingQue s'avance cet arsenal
Whose name is Pancho VillaQui a pour nom Pancho Villa
Soon at the foot of CalvaryTout à l'heure au pied du calvaire
He'll say a short prayerIl dira une courte prière
Then he'll resume his cursesPuis il reprendra ses jurons
And his path and his songEt son chemin et sa chanson

Viva Villa!Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!Viva Villa!
Viva Villa!Viva Villa!

Four rifles, ten pistolsQuatre fusils, dix pistolets
Fifteen switchbladesQuinze couteaux à cran d'arrêt

It's for a famous carnivalC'est pour un fameux carnaval
That this whole arsenal is comingQue s'en vient tout cet arsenal
They're looking for Pancho VillaOn recherche Pancho villa
If they go to CalvaryS'ils vont du côté du calvaire

Or swallow his songOu bien avaler sa chanson

Two rifles, four pistolsDeux fusils, quatre pistolets
And a switchbladeEt un couteau à cran d'arrêt
Went to GuadalajaraAllaient à Guadalajara
It was a famous carnivalCe fut un fameux carnaval
When the arsenal was blown upQuand on fit sauter l'arsenal
Which was called Pancho VillaQui s'appelait Pancho villa
He is there at the foot of CalvaryIl est là au pied du calvaire
He has just bitten the dustIl vient de mordre la poussière
The vultures will leave himLes vautours ne lui laisseront
Only bones and spursQue les os et les éperons
