Lyrics and translation Xavier Cugat - La Paloma




La Paloma
The Dove
Yo soy la paloma errante
I am the wandering dove
Que vengo aquí
That comes here
Yo soy del hermoso nido
I am from the beautiful nest
Donde nací
Where I was born
Cuando sali de la abana,
When I left the dovecote,
Valgame dios!
Oh my goodness!
Nadie me ha vistosalir
Nobody saw me leave
Si no fui yo
Except for me
Si a tu ventana llaga
If a dove comes to your window,
Una paloma
A dove
Tratala con cariño
Treat it with care
Que es mi persona
For it is my spirit
Cuentale tus amores
Tell it your love
Bien de mi vida
My love
Corónala de flores
Crown it with flowers
Que es cosa mía
For it is mine
¡ay! chinita que si,
Oh! My darling, if you would,
¡ay! que dame tu amor
Oh! Give me your love
¡ay! que vente conmigo chinita
Oh! Come with me, my love
A donde vivo yo
To where I live
