Deux fusils, quatre pistolets
Et un couteau à cran d'arrêt
S'en vont à Guadalajara
C'est pour un fameux carnaval
Que s'avance cet arsenal
Qui a pour nom Pancho Villa
Tout à l'heure au pied du calvaire
Il dira une courte prière
Puis il reprendra ses jurons
Et son chemin et sa chanson
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
Quatre fusils, dix pistolets
Quinze couteaux à cran d'arrêt
Viennent de Guadalajara
C'est pour un fameux carnaval
Que s'en vient tout cet arsenal
On recherche Pancho villa
S'ils vont du côté du calvaire
Ils trouv'ront l' révolutionnaire
Ils lui f'ront entendre raison
Ou bien avaler sa chanson
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
Deux fusils, quatre pistolets
Et un couteau à cran d'arrêt
Allaient à Guadalajara
Ce fut un fameux carnaval
Quand on fit sauter l'arsenal
Qui s'appelait Pancho villa
Il est là au pied du calvaire
Il vient de mordre la poussière
Les vautours ne lui laisseront
Que les os et les éperons
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
Viva Villa !
