[00:05.453]In the High Sierras, camped were the soldiers
[00:10.252]And a young soldada who valiantly fought
[00:14.483]Side by side with Francisco Villa, Adelita
[00:23.059]I'm far from my home now, a Texacan soldier
[00:27.060]It's not for fortune or risk to the battlefield I fight
[00:32.263]I fell in love with Adelita with my very soul
[00:36.957]We'll stand in arms this night
[00:41.613]She said, "Johnny, if I should die in battle
[00:46.612]And my body be left in the Sierranea
[00:51.391]My love, my love, in God's name
[00:56.199]Fight on, and remember me
[00:58.216]That my blood will not have been spilled in vain"
[01:04.051]On horseback, a carbine full and at her side
[01:08.476]Over her blouse, cartridges filled her bandoleras
[01:13.798]Side by side, into battle we rode, Villistas, my Adelita
[01:24.543]We met the enemy in the Zamoran mountains
[01:29.157]From their bullets, many of our soldiers died
[01:33.625]And wounded, I lay fallen with my comrades
[01:38.692]As Adelita stood above us
[01:40.792]Firing her rifle till the gunpowder turned her hand black
[01:47.424]The sky was blue, 'neath the cannon, the earth trembled
[01:52.293]I watched as a bullet pierced my love's side
[01:57.524]She fell amidst the brothers and sisters
[02:02.192]Smoke and empty sky in her eyes
[02:07.309]Adelita, my love
[02:09.056]Adelita, my wife
[02:11.896]Adelita, my comrade
[02:13.862]My life
[02:15.679]They'll remember your name when freedom fills the Sierranea
[02:21.259]I'll remember the warmth of your skin against mine
[02:52.204]Tonight, I lay in the mountains with the campesinos
[02:56.741]My mind at peace from the vows I've made
[03:01.176]I know I'll never see Texas again
[03:11.412]Your portrait I carry deep in my breast pocket
[03:16.581]My rifle firing into the campaña
[03:18.753]I ride with you 'round my heart
[03:22.775]Protected from this death by beauty
