La Adelita
(People Mexican)
At the top of a steep ridge
a regiment was encamped
and brave girl who followed him
madly in love with the sergeant.
Popular among the troops was Adelita,
the woman that the sergeant idolized
besides being brave it was nice
that even the Colonel respected.
And he was heard saying
who both wanted ...
If Adelita is out with another
follow her by land and sea,
if by sea on a warship
if by land in a military train.
If Adelita wanted to be my wife,
and if either my wife Adelita,
would buy a silk dress
to take her dancing to the barracks.
And after ending the cruel battle
and the troops returned to their camp
by the time a woman sobbing
prayer was heard in the camp.
And to hear the fearful Sergeant
of losing his beloved forever
hiding his pain under the shawl
his beloved he sang this ...
And he was heard saying
that both he died ...
And just in case I die in the war,
and what my body will be buried,
Adelita, by God I pray,
