Descansa General - Los Cadetes De Linares traduction en anglais

Descansa General

Pasan los años, tu recuerdo está en la historia
De Pancho Villa, que a su México dejo
Y en su memoria con orgullo lo decía
"Acepto el reto, que la vida me marco"

Fue Pancho Villa, decidido y muy valiente
Y su grandeza lo llevo hasta general
Estuvo preso por delitos cometidos
Y allá en su celda, comenzaba a deletrear

Descansa, general
Reposa gran tesoro
Por tus hazañas de oro
Mi México te amo

Autodidacto, es el nombre que merece
Por ser valiente y que solo se formó
Vengó con gusto la deshonra de su hermana
Y allá en sus tropas, treinta mil hombres mando

Si ya no late aquel pecho que gritaba
Porque rendido, un cobarde lo mato
Y que ganaron con cortarle la cabeza
Si su grandeza era de él, se la llevo

Rest in Peace, General

Years pass, your memory remains in history,
The history of Pancho Villa, who left his Mexico behind.
And in his memory, with pride, he used to say,
"I accept the challenge that life has given me."

Pancho Villa was decisive and very brave,
And his greatness took him to the rank of general.
He was imprisoned for crimes committed,
And there in his cell, he began to spell out his thoughts.

Rest in peace, General,
Repose, great treasure.
For your golden deeds,
My Mexico loves you.

Self-taught is the name he deserves,
For being brave and self-made.
He avenged with pleasure his sister's dishonor,
And there in his troops, he commanded thirty thousand men.

If that chest that used to roar no longer beats,
Because a coward, defeated him and took his life,
What did they gain by cutting off his head?
If his greatness was his, he took it with him.
