Lyrics and translation Banda Culiacancito - El Mayor De Los Villares

El Mayor De Los Villares

Ahora ya lo comprendo,
Siempre quiso aconsejar,
Cuando me acuerdo me río,
Que razón tenía mi padre,

Se marchaba por un tiempo,
Pa' arrimarnos la comida,
Lo que el hacía por nosotros,
Mi madre lo comprendía,

Haciendo avage no sentía ni el calor,
Cuidé a mis carnales por ser el mayor,
El meño de los Villares,
De los hijos de don Ángel,

Mi Madre siempre nos cuido con amor,
Mi Padre fué un campesino agricultor,
La nobleza y el respeto,
El viejo nos inculcó,
Que orgullo nacer pobre,
Que agusto dormir en catre,
Mientras hubiera frijoles,
No nos espantaba el hambre,

Ese pueblo del Río Frío,
Donde arriaba las borregas,
Donde la infancia fué dura,
Fué mi cuna Zacatecas,

De 6 años ya pastoreaba animales,
A los 15 ya tenia ambiciones grandes,
La fábrica de metales,
Nos hizo un pacto de sangre,

Nos hicimos tropezón a tropezón,
Hoy quisiera que estuviera aquí mi apá,
Como le hechamos de menos,
A don Ángel DEL Villar.

The Elder of the Villares

Now I understand,
He always wanted to advise,
When I remember I laugh,
How right my father was,

He would leave for a while,
To bring food for us,
What he did for us,
My mother understood,

Doing chores, I felt no heat,
I looked after my brothers because I was the oldest,
The youngest of the Villares,
Of the children of don Ángel,

My mother always looked after us with love,
My father was a farmer,
Nobility and respect,
The old man taught us,
How proud to be born poor,
How comfortable to sleep in a cot,
As long as there were beans,
We were not afraid of hunger,

That town on the Río Frío,
Where I herded sheep,
Where childhood was hard,
My cradle was Zacatecas,

At 6 I was already herding animals,
At 15 I already had great ambitions,
The metal factory,
Made us a pact of blood,

We made our way with every step,
Today I wish my father were here,
How we miss him,
Don Ángel DEL Villar.
