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
