Translation of the song lyrics El Grano de Oro - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Grano de Oro (original)

Yo le puse Grano de Oro
A mi caballo alazán
Era de mi fierro criollo
Era hermoso mi animal
Más se lo di a Pancho Villa
En su santo allá en Parral
Pancho Villa le dio el grado
Le dio el grado de mayor
Cuando lo salvó en Celaya
De las balas de Obregón
Corrió con su carga en lomo
Hasta llegar a Torreón
El valor de Pancho Villa
Y las patas del corcel
Eran el ciclón norteño
Que llamaban Lucifer
Pero era Francisco Villa
En su caballo más fiel
Una vez se lo robaron
Los huertistas en Parral
Más el potro enfurecido
No dejó de reparar
Hasta quitarse al jinete
Regresando a su corral
Las metrallas enemigas
Y hasta uno que otro cañón
Los lazaba Pancho Villa
En plena revolución
Grano de Oro los jalaba
Relinchando de valor
Cuando mataron a Villa
En Hidalgo del Parral
En Canutillo el caballo
Lo esperaba en el corral
Murió con la silla puesta
Esperando al general

El Grano de Oro (translation)

I put Grain of Gold
To my sorrel horse
It was from my Creole iron
my animal was beautiful
I gave it more to Pancho Villa
In his saint of him there in Parral
Pancho Villa gave him the degree
He gave him the rank of major
When he saved him in Celaya
From the bullets of Obregón
He ran with his load on his back
Until arriving at Torreón
The value of Pancho Villa
And the legs of the steed
They were the northern cyclone
who called Lucifer
But it was Francisco Villa
On his horse he most faithful
Once it was stolen
The gardeners in Parral
Plus the enraged colt
He did not stop repairing
Until the rider is removed
Returning to his corral
the enemy shrapnel
And even one or another cannon
Pancho Villa lashed them
in full revolution
Grain of Gold pulled them
neighing of valor
When they killed Villa
In Hidalgo del Parral
In Canutillo the horse
I was waiting for him in the corral
He died with the chair on
waiting for the general
