[Verse 1]
Adelita, 'tis time we remember
That only one hour more and I must go
To the hills of Sierra del Prado
For the glory of our Mexico

[Chorus]
Oh, Adelita, promise you'll remember
The happy hours that now have long gone by
Oh, Adelita, we'll share these tender moments
Adelita, it hurts me when you cry

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Adelita, the time is here to leave you
Once again, now, I'll kiss away your tears
In my heart I will hold you forever
And our love, it will live through the years

[Chorus]
Oh, Adelita, promise you'll remember
The happy hours that now have long gone by
Oh, Adelita, we'll share these tender moments
Adelita, it hurts me when you cry
