Adelita

If Adelita were to go with another
You would follow her trail without stopping
If by sea, on a warship
If by land, on a military train

If Adelita wanted to be your wife
If Adelita were your woman
You would buy her a silk dress
To take her dancing at the barracks

Adelita is the name of the young woman
Whom you adore and can't forget
In the field, you have the rose
And in time, you will pick it

And if by chance she dies in battle
And if her body is to remain in the earth
Adelita, for God's sake, I beg you
To go cry for her with your eyes

Adelita, for God's sake, I beg you
To go cry for her with your eyes
