Where are you going, Alfonso XII? Where are you going so sadly?
I am looking for Mercedes because I lost her yesterday.
Mercedes is already dead, and it's true because I saw her.
Four dukes carried her through the streets of Madrid.
The lanterns of the castle no longer want to light,
Because Mercedes has died, and they are in mourning.
Poor little Mercedes, she died like a flower.
Similar arrangements for S(S)ATB, TB, 2-part, and unison choirs are also available.
You may also find this song under the alternate title "¿Dónde vas, Alfonso Doce?"
