These selected verses from the trad. version are from Sandburg's "American Songbag", but he points out that the number of available stanzas is unlimited. These six were selected to just show a reasonable amount of connection. ADELITA — (traditional)
Adelita se llama la ingrata,
Si Adelita quisiera ser mi esposa,
Ya me llama el clarín de campaña
Si acaso yo muero en campaña
Adelita es una fronteriza
Si Adelita se fuere con otro TRANSLATION
Adelita's the name of the lady
If Adelita would take me for a husband,
Now the trumpet to battle does call me
If perhaps I should die in the battle,
Adelita's a desperate coquette
Should Adelita run off with another, |

29 Nov 03 - 04:59 PM (#1062945) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Words to the Mexican Song ADELITA From: 12-stringer Bob Skyles and the Skyrockets did a commercial version in western swing style on the old blue Decca 5000 label in the late 30s. I think I still have the 78 somewhere, if it hasn't broken. The Skyles version is called "Goodbye, Adelita, Goodbye," and this was part of the chorus. (Something like: "And my prayer is to hold you and never Say goodbye, Adelita, goodbye." Pronounced "A-de-lay-ta" on the record, IIRC.) Haven't played the record or attempted the song myself in close to 30 years but I think the lyrics are non-specific going off to war, hope I come back to you, stuff. ("If I never return to you, my darling, And the fate of battle says that I must die, With your name on my lips I'll be praying, Goodbye, Adelita, goodbye." That sounds pretty familiar and I know I didn't write it myself.) |

It comes from a cassette called Somos Indios, and has some really great stuff on it. I hope to find these lyrics in lieu of transcribing them all myself. |
