Lyrics

Se Adelita se fuera con otro
La seguiria por tierra o por mar
Se por mar en un buque de guerra
Se por tierra en un tren militar
Y se acaso yo muero en la guerra
Y se mi cuerpo en la sierra va quedar
Adelita por Dios te lo ruego
Qué por mi no vayas a llorar
Se Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa
Se Adelita ya fuera mi mujer
Le compraria un vestido de seda
Para llevala en un coche al cuartel
Y se acaso yo muero en la guerra
Y se mi cuerpo en la sierra va quedar
Adelita por Dios te lo ruego
Qué por mi no vayas a llorar
Se Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa
Se Adelita ya fuera mi mujer
Le compraria un vestido de seda
Para llevala en un coche al cuartel
Se Adelita se fuera con otro
La seguiria por tierra o por mar
Se por mar en un buque de guerra
Se por tierra en un tren militar

Lyrics translation

He's overtaking off with another one.
I would follow her by land or by sea
Se by sea on a warship
Get ashore on a military train
And I know I die in war
And I know my body in the Saw will stay
Adelita by God I beg you
Don't cry for me
I'd like to be my wife.
It's over my wife.
I'd buy her a silk dress.
To take her in a car to the barracks
And I know I die in war
And I know my body in the Saw will stay
Adelita by God I beg you
Don't cry for me
I'd like to be my wife.
It's over my wife.
I'd buy her a silk dress.
To take her in a car to the barracks
He's overtaking off with another one.
I would follow her by land or by sea
Se by sea on a warship
Get ashore on a military train
