Descansa General
Los Cadetes de Linares
Rest General
The years go by, your memory is in history
Of Pancho Villa, who left his mark on Mexico
And in his memory, proudly, he said
I accept the challenge that life marked me with
It was Pancho Villa, determined and very brave
And his greatness led him to the rank of general
He was imprisoned for crimes committed
And there in his cell, he began to spell
Rest, general
Rest, great treasure
For your golden deeds
My Mexico, I love you
Self-taught is the name he deserves
For being brave and self-educated
He avenged with pleasure the dishonor of his sister
And there in his troops, he commanded thirty men
If that chest that used to shout no longer beats
Because a coward killed him
And what did they gain by cutting off his head
If his greatness belonged to him, he took it with him
