Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Tumba Abandonada by Antonio Aguilar from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuantos jilgueros y sinsontes veo pasar
How many goldfinches and mockingbirds do I see passing by?
Pero que tristes cantan esas avecillas
But how sad those little birds sing
Van a Chiguagua a llorar sobre Parral
They go to Chiguagua to cry over Parral
Donde descanza el General Francisco Villa
Where General Francisco Villa rests
Lloran al ver aquella tumba
They cry when they see that grave
Donde descanza para siempre el general
Where the general rests forever
Sin un clavel, sin flor alguna
Without a carnation, without any flower
Sólo hojas secas que le ofrenda el bendaval
Only dry leaves offered by the Bendaval
¡Viva mi General Francisco Villa, viva
Long live my General Francisco Villa, long live
De sus dorados nadie quire recordar
Nobody wants to remember their gold
Que Villa duerme bajo el cielo de Chiguagua
That Villa sleeps under the sky of Chiguagua
Solo las aves que gorgean sobre Parral
Only the birds that chirp over Parral
Van a llorar sobre su tumba abandonada
They will cry over his abandoned grave
Solo uno fue el olvidado
Only one was forgotten
Y a su sepulcro su oración va a murmurar
And to his grave his prayer will be murmured
Amigo fiel, y buen soldado
Faithful friend, and good soldier
Grabó en su tumba estoy presente General
Engraved on his tomb I am present General
¡Presente mi General Francisco Villa, presente
Present my General Francisco Villa, present
Canten jilgueros y sinsontes sin parar
Goldfinches and mockingbirds sing without stopping
Y que sus trinos se oigan en la serrania
And let their trills be heard in the mountains
Y cuando vuelen bajo el cielo de Parrar
And when they fly under the sky of Parrar
Lloren conmigo por el Gran Francisco Villla
Cry with me for the Great Francisco Villla
Adios, Adios, mis avecilllaras
Goodbye, goodbye, my birds
Yo tambien quiero recoradrle a mi nación
I also want to remember my nation
Que hallá en Parral descanza Villa
What you find in Parral Descanza Villa
En el regazo de aquel lugar que tanto amó
In the lap of that place that he loved so much
