Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
Una muchacha guapa, 
llamada Adela, llamada Adela, 
Los amores de Juan 
la lleva enferma, y ella sabía, 
Que su amiga Dolores lo entretenía. 
El tiempo iba pasando, 
Y la pobre Adela, y la pobre Adela, 
Más blanca se ponía 
Y más enferma; y ella sabía 
Que de sus amores se moriría.
