I have been taking spanish classes for about 5 years now, and this phrase does not make complete grammatical sense in Spanish or English. However, when translated loosely, it reads:

Pancho Villa (or Village -- I'm not sure if this is a name or not) would resurrect only to be died of return and to be rolled in the tomb.

Good luck -- hope this helps you!

Hi!
Sure.... Here it goes:
"Pancho Villa would come back to life only to die again and tumble in his grave".

The Spanish phrase "revolcarse en la tumba" -so you can get a better idea- is used to reffer to a dead person that is not at peace. Even though the word REVOLCARSE means in Spanish "to tumble", in this case it is used a bit as stir, twirl, etc...

Goodluck!

Pancho Villa will resurrect only to die again and "revolcarse" in his tomb

I dont know how to translate revolcarse but its like to get wild and desperate in his tomb, to move inside the tomb.

Pancho Villa would raise from the dead, only to die again and roll over and over in his grave (or tomb).

It's like the English expression, "He would turn over in his grave".
