Текст и перевод песни Victor Jara - Corrido De Pancho Villa

Corrido De Pancho Villa

Fui soldado de Francisco Villa
De aquel hombre de fama inmortal
Que aunque estuvo sentado en la silla
No envidiara la presidencial
Ahora vivo allá por la orilla
Recordando aquel tiempo inmortal
Ay, ay
Ahora vivo allá por la orilla
Recordando a Villa allá por Parral
Yo fui uno de aquellos dorados
Que con tiempo llegó a ser mayor
En la lucha quedamos lisiados
Defendiendo la patria y honor
Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
Que peleamos con el invasor
Ay, ay
Hoy recuerdo los tiempos pasados
De aquellos dorados que yo fui mayor
Mi caballo que tanto montaba
En Jiménez la muerte alcanzó
Una bala que a mí me tocaba
A su cuerpo se le atravesó
Al morir de dolor relinchaba
Por la patria la vida entregó
Ay, ay
Al morir de dolor relinchaba
Cómo le lloraba cuando se murió
Pancho Villa te llevo grabado
En mi mente y en mi corazón
Y aunque a veces me vi derrotado
Por las fuerzas de Álvaro Obregón
Siempre anduve como fiel soldado
Hasta el fin de la revolución
Ay, ay
Siempre anduve como fiel soldado
Que tanto ha luchado al pie del cañón

Corrido de Pancho Villa

I was a soldier of Francisco Villa,
That man of immortal fame,
Who, though he sat in the president's chair,
Envied not the presidential seat.
Now I live by the riverbank,
Recalling those immortal times.
Oh, oh,
Now I live by the riverbank,
Remembering Villa there in Parral.
I was one of those dorados,
Who in time rose to be a major.
In the fighting we were crippled,
Defending our country and our honor.
Today I remember those bygone times,
When we fought the invader.
Oh, oh,
Today I remember those bygone times,
Of those dorados, of whom I was a major.
My horse that I rode so much,
In Jiménez, death overtook him.
A bullet meant for me
Struck his body instead.
As he died in pain, he whinnied.
For country he gave his life.
Oh, oh,
As he died in pain, he whinnied.
How I wept when he died!
Pancho Villa, I bear your memory
Engraved in my mind and in my heart.
And though at times I saw myself defeated
By the forces of Álvaro Obregón,
I always fought as a faithful soldier,
Until the end of the revolution.
Oh, oh,
I always fought as a faithful soldier,
Who fought so hard at the foot of the cannon.
