Pombiña - 2012 Remastered Version
Pombiña - 2012 Remastered Version
Voa pombiña voa, que non tes morto lo teu pombar
Fly, my dove, fly, for your dovecote is not dead
Voltas non deas voltas, xa non tes bagoas para chorar
Don't turn around, you have no more tears to cry
Pensas que non e certo, pensas que tornará
You think it's not true, you think he'll come back
Pero a verdade e crua, din que o teu pombo cruzóu o mar.
But the truth is cruel, they say your pigeon has crossed the sea.
Voa pombiña voa, cantan as voces dos teus irmans
Fly, my dove, fly, your brothers and sisters sing
Xa non tes ataduras, non tes cadeas, podes voar.
You have no more ties, no chains, you can fly.
Pero a pombiña rosma, non quere abandoar
But the dove moans, she does not want to leave
Esta terra e a miña, onde naceran os meus iguais
This land is mine, where my equals were born
Caeu dime que caeu o pombo branco
It fell, they say it fell, the white dove did
Caeu dime que caeu, caeu no mar
It fell, they say it fell, it fell into the sea
E dime que lle dixera o pombo a pombiña
And they say the dove said to the dove
Adeus miña xoya branca, miña santiña
Farewell, my white jewel, my saint
Adeus dixo o pombo branco o caer no mar
Farewell, said the white dove as it fell into the sea
Voa Galicia voa, reconstruindo o teu pombar
Fly, Galicia, fly, rebuilding your dovecote
Que volten o que marcharan que temos xuntos que traballar
Let those who have left return, we have to work together
Galicia non ten mas bagoas
Galicia has no more tears
Galicia non quer chorar
Galicia does not want to cry
Xa nos cheo o vento, este e lo-tempo de navegar
The wind has filled us up, this is the time to sail
Caeu dime que caeu o pombo branco
It fell, they say it fell, the white dove did
Caeu dime que caeu, caeu no mar
It fell, they say it fell, it fell into the sea
E dime que lle dixera o pombo a pombiña
And they say the dove said to the dove
Adeus miña xoya branca, miña santiña
Farewell, my white jewel, my saint
Adeus dixo o pombo branco o caer no mar
Farewell, said the white dove as it fell into the sea
Voa pombiña voa, dille os galegos que veñan xa
Fly, my dove, fly, tell the Galicians to come now
Voa pombiña voa, leva-lles ventos de beiramar
Fly, my dove, fly, bring them winds from the sea
