Lyrics of El Siete Leguas - Los Tigres Del Norte

El Siete Leguas (original)

Siete leguas el caballo
Que Villa mas estimaba
Cuando oia silbar los trenes
Se paraba y relinchaba
Siete leguas el caballo
Que Villa mas estimaba
En la estacion de Irapuato
Brillaban los horizontes
Ahi combatio formal
La brigada bracamontes
En la estacion de Irapuato
Cantaban los horizontes
Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbo la locomotora
Arriba, arriba muchachos
Pongan la ametrallodora
Como a las tres de la tarde
Silbo la locomotora
Oye tu, Francisco Villa
Que dice tu corazon
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Que atacaste a Paredon
Ya no te acuerdas valiente
Que tomaste a Torreon
Adios torres de Chihuahua
Adios torres de Cantera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A quitarles lo pantera
Ya vino Francisco Villa
A devolver la frontera

(translation)

Seven leagues the horse
Which Villa esteemed the most
When I heard the trains whistle
She stood and whinnied
Seven leagues the horse
Which Villa esteemed the most
At the Irapuato station
the horizons shone
there formal combat
The bracamontes brigade
At the Irapuato station
the horizons sang
Like at three in the afternoon
I whistle the locomotive
Up up boys
put the machine gun
Like at three in the afternoon
I whistle the locomotive
Hey you, Francisco Villa
What does your heart say
you no longer remember brave
That you attacked Paredon
you no longer remember brave
that you took Torreon
Goodbye chihuahua towers
Goodbye Cantera towers
Francisco Villa has already come
To take away the panther
Francisco Villa has already come
to return the border
