La Toma de Zacatecas

It was the twenty-third of June
I speak with the most present
Zacatecas was taken
By the insurgent troops

They had been fighting for a few days
When Pancho Villa arrived
To see what was happening

The orders Villa gave
To everyone in formation
To start the battle
With the shot of a cannon

With the shot of a cannon
As they had agreed
The battle started hard
Right and left side

It was time to attack La Bufa
For Villa, Urdina, and Natera
They had to meet there
The pride of their flag

The streets of Zacatecas
Covered with dead bodies
The hills were the same
From the grenade fire

Oh, beautiful Zacatecas
Look how they left you
The cause was the old Huerta
And so many rich allies

Now, drunk Huerta
You will stumble more
Knowing that Pancho Villa
Has taken Zacatecas
