La Persecución de Villa

Homeland Mexico, February twenty-three
Carranza let Americans pass
Two thousand soldiers, two hundred airplanes
Looking for Villa, wanting to kill him

Then Carranza told them eagerly
If they are brave and want to fight him
Granted, I give you permission
So they can learn to die

They began to send expeditions
The airplanes began to fly
In different and various directions
Looking for Villa, wanting to kill him

The soldiers who came from Texas
Couldn't find Pancho Villa
Very annoyed after an eight-hour journey
The poor ones wanted to go back

The horsemen couldn't sit
And the foot soldiers couldn't walk
Then Villa flew over them in his airplane
And from above he said: Goodbye

When they found out Villa was already dead
Everyone shouted with fury
Now, dear comrades
Let's go to Texas covered in honor

But they didn't know Villa was alive
And that they would never be able to get him
If they wanted to pay a visit
They could go see him in the mountains

They began to launch their airplanes
Then Villa studied a good plan
He dressed as an American soldier
And also transformed his troops

But when the Americans saw the flags
With many stripes that Villa painted for them
They landed with their airplanes
And Pancho Villa took them as prisoners

All the people of Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez
Were amazed and scared
Just to see so many Americans and Carrancistas
That Pancho Villa left without ears

What would the big-headed Yankees think
That they would scare us with cannons
If they have plenty of airplanes
Here we have the main thing

All the Americans thought in their arrogance
That fighting was a piece of cake
And with their faces full of shame
They all went back to their country in a hurry

What would the Americans think there
That fighting was a piece of cake
With their faces full of shame
They all went back to their country
