Lyrics and translation William Luna - Una Paloma Sobre una Rama

Una Paloma Sobre una Rama

Una paloma sobre una rama
Abre su pico para cantar
Una paloma sobre una rama
Abre su pico para cantar

La rama tiembla como quien dice:
"Ay, tú no sabes lo que es amar"
La rama tiembla como quien dice:
"Ay, tú no sabes lo que es amar"

Yo te querido, yo te amado
Tú no has sabido corresponderme
Yo te querido, yo te amado
Tú no has sabido corresponderme

Gota por gota, llanto por llanto
Mis ilusiones se acabaron
Gota por gota, llanto por llanto
Mis ilusiones se acabaron

Una cartita tú me escribiste
Donde me dices: "Ya no te quiero"
Una cartita tú me escribiste
Donde me dices: "Ya no te quiero"

Ahora me dices: "Papeles hablan"
Que mi cariño no vale nada
Ahora me dices: "Papeles hablan"
Que mi cariño no vale nada

Cuando me vaya solo te pido
Que no me borres de tu memoria
Cuando me vaya solo te pido
Que no me borres de tu memoria

Por algo he sido siquiera un día
Tu fiel amante, palomita
Por algo he sido siquiera un día
Tu fiel amante, palomita

Ay, llorando, llorando, llorando estás
Ay, no llores, no llores porque me voy
Ay, llorando, llorando, llorando estás
Ay, no llores, no llores porque me voy

A Dove on a Limb

A dove on a limb
Opens its beak to sing
A dove on a limb
Opens its beak to sing

The limb trembles as if to say:
"Oh, you do not know what it is to love"
The limb trembles as if to say:
"Oh, you do not know what it is to love"

I have loved you, I have adored you
You have not known how to reciprocate
I have loved you, I have adored you
You have not known how to reciprocate

Drop by drop, tear by tear
My illusions have ended
Drop by drop, tear by tear
My illusions have ended

You wrote a letter to me
Where you tell me: "I don't love you anymore"
You wrote a letter to me
Where you tell me: "I don't love you anymore"

Now you tell me: "Papers speak"
That my love is worthless
Now you tell me: "Papers speak"
That my love is worthless

When I go, I only ask you
That you don't erase me from your memory
When I go, I only ask you
That you don't erase me from your memory

For one day I was at least
Your faithful lover, my darling
For one day I was at least
Your faithful lover, my darling

Oh, weeping, weeping, weeping you are
Oh, do not weep, do not weep because I am going
Oh, weeping, weeping, weeping you are
Oh, do not weep, do not weep because I am going
