El Guapo - (Spanish for The Handsome One)

Adelita Valiente - has come to signify a woman of strength and courage.

La Adelita Lyrics in Spanish and English

En lo alto de la abrupta serranía

acampado se encontraba un regimiento

y una musa que valiente los seguía

locamente enamorada del sargento.


Popular entre la tropa era Adelita

la mujer que el sargento idolatra

bay además de ser era bonita valiente

que hasta el mismo Coronel la respetaba.

Y se oía, que decía, aquel que tanto la quería:

Y si Adelita quisiera ser mi novia

y si Adelita fuera mi mujer

le compraría un vestido de seda

para llevarla a bailar al cuartel.


Y si Adelita se fuera con otro

la seguiría por tierra y por mar

si por mar en un buque de guerra

si por tierra en un tren militar.

~~~~~~~

In the heights of a steep mountainous range

a regiment was encamped

and a bright woman bravely follows them

madly in love with the sergeant.

Popular among the troop was Adelita

the woman that the sergeant idolized

and besides being pretty she was brave

that even the Colonel respected her.

And it was heard, that he, who loved her so much, said:

If Adelita would like to be my girlfriend

If Adelita would be my wife

I'd buy her a silk dress

to take her dance to the quarter.

If Adelita would leave with another man

I'd follow her by land and sea

by sea in a war ship

by land in a military train.
