Adelaida

Adelaide

Adelaida

On the path that goes down to the riverPor la vereda que baja al rio
a cheerful tune is heardse oye una alegre tonada

That Adelaide with a whistleEsa adelaida con un silvido
like a bird from the nestcual pajaro desde el nido
they watch her coming to the waterla miran que viene al agua

With her shawl tangled around her neckCon su reboso enrredado al cuello
and the jug on her shouldery el cantaro sobre el hombro

With her hurried little stepCon su pasito apresurado
she walks through the fieldscamina por los sembrados
I watch her full of wonderla miro lleno de asombro

(Chorus):(Chorus):
Adelaide of my lovesAdelaida de mis amores
you are beautiful and charmingeres hermosa y encantadora
your mouth is an appletu boca es una manzana
morning starlucero de la mañana
I am the man who adores yousoy el hombre que te adora

I assure you that I can't anymoreLes aseguro que ya no puedo
and every night I mention hery cada noche la nombro

I dream of her that cuddled upSoñe con ella que acurrucado
I fall asleep well embracedme duermo bien abrazado
I have her here on my shoulderla tengo aqui en mi hombro

(Chorus):(Chorus):
