Adelita(original) |
| En lo alto de una abrupta serranía |
| Acampado se encontraba un regimiento |
| Y una moza que valiente lo seguía |
| Locamente enamorada del sargento |
| Popular entre la tropa era Adelita |
| La mujer que el sargento idolatraba |
| Que además de ser valiente era bonita |
| Que hasta el mismo coronel la respetaba |
| Y se oía que decía |
| Aquel que tanto la quería… |
| Si Adelita se fuera con otro |
| La seguiría por tierra y por mar |
| Si por mar en un buque de guerra |
| Si por tierra en un tren militar |
| Si Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa |
| Y si Adelita ya fuera mi mujer |
| Le compraría un vestido de seda |
| Para llevarla a bailar al cuartel |
| Y después que terminó la cruel batalla |
| Y la tropa regresó a su campamento |
| Por la vez de una mujer que sollozaba |
| La plegaria se oyó en el campamento |
| Y al oírla el sargento temeroso |
| De perder para siempre su adorada |
| Escondiendo su dolor bajo el reboso |
| A su amada le cantó de esta manera… |
| Y se oía que decía |
| Aquel que tanto se moría… |
| Y si acaso yo muero en la guerra |
| Y mi cadáver lo van a sepultar |
| Adelita, por Dios te lo ruego |
| Que por mí no vayas a llorar |
| (translation) |
| At the top of a steep mountain range |
| Encamped was a regiment |
| And a brave girl followed him |
| She madly in love with the sergeant |
| Popular with the troop was Adelita |
| The woman the sergeant idolized |
| That besides being brave she was pretty |
| That even the colonel respected her |
| And she could hear her say |
| The one who loved her so much... |
| If Adelita left with another |
| He would follow her by land and by sea |
| If she by sea on a warship |
| If by land in a military train |
| If Adelita wanted to be my wife |
| And if Adelita were already my wife |
| She would buy him a silk dress |
| To take her to dance at the barracks |
| And after the cruel battle was over |
| And the troop returned to their camp |
| For the time of a woman who sobbed |
| The prayer was heard in the camp |
| And when the fearful sergeant heard it |
| Of losing his beloved forever |
| Hiding his pain from her under the overflow |
| He sang to his beloved her in this way... |
| And she could hear her say |
| The one who died so much... |
| And if I die in the war |
| And my corpse is going to be buried |
| Adelita, by God I beg you |
| Don't go crying for me |
