Adelita

En lo alto de una abrupta serraníaacampado se encontraba un regimientoy una moza que valiente lo seguíalocamente enamorada del sargento.

Popular entre la tropa era Adelita,la mujer que el sargento idolatrabaque además de ser valiente era bonitaque hasta el mismo coronel la respetaba.

Y se oía que decíaaquel que tanto la quería…

Si Adelita se fuera con otrola seguiría por tierra y por mar,si por mar en un buque de guerrasi por tierra en un tren militar.

Si Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa,y si Adelita ya fuera mi mujer,le compraría un vestido de sedapara llevarla a bailar al cuartel.

Y después que terminó la cruel batallay la tropa regresó a su campamentopor la vez de una mujer que sollozabala plegaria se oyó en el campamento.

Y al oírla el sargento temerosode perder para siempre su adoradaescondiendo su dolor bajo el rebosoa su amada le cantó de esta manera…

Y se oía que decíaaquel 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

Adelita

In the mountains, at topa regiment was campingand a wench followed it bravelycrazy in love with the sergeant

Adelita was very popular among the troopthe woman that the sergeant idolizedbecause besides brave, she was beautifulthat even the colonel respected her

And you could hear the onethat loved her so much....

If Adelita goes away with anotherI would follow her by land and by seaby sea in a warshipby land in a military train

If Adelita wanted to be my wifeand if Adelita were my womanI would bought her a silk dressto take her to dance to the barracks

And after the cruel battle endedand the troop came back to the campby the voice of a woman that sobbedthe prayer was heard in the camp

And when the sergeant heard it, he was afraidto lose forever his lovehiding her pain under her shawlhe sings to his love like this....

And you could hear the onewho was dying....

And if I died in warand if my body will be buriedAdelita for God´s sake I beg youdon´t cry for me
