El Grano de Oro - ANTONIO AGUILAR

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

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
