Letra de Veracruz - Warren Zevon

I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
I heard Maria crying
Late last night I heard the news
That Veracruz was dying
Veracruz was dying

Someone called Maria's name
I swear it was my father's voice
Saying, "If you stay you'll all be slain
You must leave now - you have no choice
Take the servants and ride west
Keep the child close to your chest
When the American troops withdraw
Let Zapata take the rest"

I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
I heard Maria calling
Saying, "Veracruz is dying
And Cuernavaca's falling"

Aquel d�a yo jur�
Hacia el puerto volver�
Aunque el destino cambi� mi vida
En Veracruz morir�
Aquel d�a yo jur�

I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
I heard them in the harbor
Saying, "Veracruz is dying"
