[Verse 1]
EbAdiós, adiós
Lucero de mis Abnoches,
Dijo un Bb7soldado
Al pie de una Ebventana.
Me voy, pero no llores alma Abmía,
Que EbvolBb7veré maEbñana.
[Chorus]
Ya Fse asoma Fmla estrella de la Bb7aurora
Ya se FdiFmvisa por el oriente el Bb7alba
En el cuarAbtel tambores y corEbnetas
Están Bb7tocando Ebdiana.
[Verse 2]
Horas después cuando la negra Abnoche
Cubrió de Bb7luto el campo de Ebbatalla
A la luz de un vivac pálido y Abtriste
Un jAboven Bb7expiEbraba.
[Chorus]
AlFguFmna cosa veía el Bbcentinela
Que al Fsentirse morir dijo Bben voz baja
Soltó el EbfusAbil, luego cerró los Ebojos
Y se Bb7enjugó una Eblágrima.
[Verse 3]
Hoy cuenta por doquier
Toda la Abgente que cuando Bb7asoma
Por el oriente el Ebalba
En el cuartel tambores y Abcornetas
EbEstán Bb7tocando Ebdiana.
[Chorus]
Se Fmve vagar la misteriosa Bbsombra
Que Fse detiene al pie de una Bbventana
Y Abmurmurar no llores alma Ebmía
Que volBbveré mañaEbna.
