Paroles et traduction José José - Gavilán o Paloma

Gavilán o Paloma

No dejabas de mirar, estabas sola
Completamente bella y sensual
Algo me arrastró hacia ti, como una ola
Y fui y te dije: "hola, ¿qué tal?"

Esa noche, entre tus brazos, caí en la trampa
Cazaste al aprendiz de seductor
Y me diste de comer sobre tu palma
Haciéndome tu humilde servidor

Amiga, hay que ver cómo es el amor
Que vuelve a a quien lo toma, gavilán o paloma
Pobre tonto, ingenuo, charlatán
Que fui paloma por querer ser gavilán
Amiga, hay que ver cómo es el amor
Que vuelve a a quien lo toma, gavilán o paloma

Fui bajando, lentamente, tu vestido
Y tú no me dejaste ni hablar
Solamente suspirabas "te necesito"
Abrázame más fuerte, más

Al mirarte, me sentí desengañado
Sólo me dio frío tu calor
Lentamente, te solté de entre mis brazos
Y dije: "estáte quieta, por favor"

Amiga, hay que ver cómo es el amor
Que vuelve a quien lo toma, gavilán o paloma
Pobre tonto, ingenuo, charlatán
Que fui paloma por querer ser gavilán

Amiga, hay que ver cómo es el amor
Que vuelve a quien lo toma, gavilán o paloma
Pobre tonto, ingenuo, charlatán
Que fui paloma por querer ser gavilán

Amiga

Hawk or Dove

You couldn't stop looking, you were alone
Completely beautiful and sensual
Something drew me to you, like a wave
So I went and said: "Hello, how are you?"

That night, in your arms, I fell into the trap
You caught the aspiring seducer
And you fed me from the palm of your hand
Making me your humble servant

My dear, you have to see how love is
That it turns back on the one who takes it, hawk or dove
Poor fool, naive, talker
Who was a dove for wanting to be a hawk
My dear, you have to see how love is
That it turns back on the one who takes it, hawk or dove

I slowly lowered your dress
And you didn't let me speak
You only sighed "I need you"
Hold me tighter, more

When I looked at you, I felt disillusioned
Your warmth only gave me a chill
Slowly, I released you from my arms
And said: "Be still, please"

My dear, you have to see how love is
That it turns back on the one who takes it, hawk or dove
Poor fool, naive, talker
Who was a dove for wanting to be a hawk

My dear, you have to see how love is
That it turns back on the one who takes it, hawk or dove
Poor fool, naive, talker
Who was a dove for wanting to be a hawk

My dear
