Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
En lo alto de una bruta serranÃa
Acampado se encontraba un regimiento
Y una moza que valiente lo seguÃa
Locamente enamorada del sargento
Popular entre la tropa era Adelita
La mujer que el sargento idolatraba
Por que a mas de ser valiente era bonita
Y hasta el mismo coronel la respetaba
Y se oÃa…
Que decÃa…
Aquel que tanto la querÃa…
Y si Adelita se fuera con otro
La seguirÃa por tierra y por mar
Si por mar en un buque de guerra
Si por tierra en tren militar
Y si Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa
Y si Adelita fuera mi mujer
Le comprarÃa un vestido de seda
Para llevarla a bailar al cuartel
English Translation - Adelina
At the top of a gross mountains
a regiment was encamped
And one brave girl who followed him
Sergeant Lovesick
Popular among the troops was Adelita
The woman that the sergeant idolized
That besides being brave she was pretty
And even the Colonel respected her
And you could hear…
What he would say…
The one who loved her so much…
And if Adelita had gone with another
I would follow by land and by sea
If by sea, on a warship
If by land, on a military train
If Adelita wanted to be my wife
Adelita out that if my woman
I would buy a silk dress
To take her dancing to the barracks

This was played beautifully. As I was named Adelita by my grandmother but never heard the song sung so beautifully.
