Adelita

If Adelita were to go with anotherSi Adelita se fuera con otro
You would follow her trail without stoppingLa seguirias la huella sin cesar
If by sea, on a warshipSi es por mar en un buque de guerra
If by land, on a military trainSi es por tierra en un tren militar

If Adelita wanted to be your wifeSi Adelita quisiera ser tu esposa
If Adelita were your womanSi Adelita fuera tu mujer
You would buy her a silk dressLe comprarias un vestido de seda
To take her dancing at the barracksPara llevarla a bailar al cuartel

Adelita is the name of the young womanAdelita se llama la joven
Whom you adore and can't forgetA quien tu adoras y no puedes olvidar
In the field, you have the roseEn el campo tu tienes la rosa
And in time, you will pick itY con el tiempo la vas a cortar

And if by chance she dies in battleY si acaso l muere en campaa
And if her body is to remain in the earthY si su cuerpo a la tierra va a quedar
Adelita, for God's sake, I beg youAdelita por Dios te lo ruego
To go cry for her with your eyesQue con tus ojos le vayas a llorar

Adelita, for God's sake, I beg youAdelita por Dios te lo ruego
To go cry for her with your eyesQue con tus ojos le vayas a llorar
