Lyrics and translation Nat King Cole - Adelita (With Mariachis)




Adelita (With Mariachis)
Adelita (With Mariachis)
Se Adelita se fuera con otro
Should Adelita depart with another,
La seguiria por tierra o por mar
I would follow her by land or sea,
Se por mar en un buque de guerra
Across the ocean in a warship,
Se por tierra en un tren militar
Across the land on a military train.
Y se acaso yo muero en la guerra
And if I were to die in the war,
Y se mi cuerpo en la sierra va quedar
And if my body were to remain in the mountains,
Adelita por Dios te lo ruego
Adelita, by God, I beg you
Qué por mi no vayas a llorar
Not to cry for me.
Se Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa
Should I Adelita desire to be my wife,
Se Adelita ya fuera mi mujer
Should Adelita already be my wife,
Le compraria un vestido de seda
I would buy her a silk dress,
Para llevala en un coche al cuartel.
To take her in a carriage to the barracks.
Y se acaso yo muero en la guerra
And if I were to die in the war,
Y se mi cuerpo en la sierra va quedar
And if my body were to remain in the mountains,
Adelita por Dios te lo ruego
Adelita, by God, I beg you
Qué por mi no vayas a llorar
Not to cry for me.
Se Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa
Should I Adelita desire to be my wife,
Se Adelita ya fuera mi mujer
Should Adelita already be my wife,
Le compraria un vestido de seda
I would buy her a silk dress,
Para llevala en un coche al cuartel.
To take her in a carriage to the barracks.
Se Adelita se fuera con otro
Should Adelita depart with another,
La seguiria por tierra o por mar
I would follow her by land or sea,
Se por mar en un buque de guerra
Across the ocean in a warship,
Se por tierra en un tren militar
Across the land on a military train.
