White dovePalomita blanca
WaltzVals

Her absence gave me this anguishSu ausencia esta congoja me dio
And sometimes her memory is a goodY a veces su recuerdo es un bien
That quickly drowns me in painQue pronto se me ahoga en dolor
And nothing consoles meY nada me consuela
Of always going furtherDe ir siempre más lejos
Of seeing myself without herDe verme sin ella
My step goes forwardMi paso va adelante
And behind, the heartY atrás el corazón
The course that cruelly takes me awayEl rumbo que me aleja tan cruel
Steals her loving caressesMe roba sus caricias de amor
And only in thought do I see herY solo el pensamiento la ve
I listen to her enchantedLa escucha embelesado
I kiss her eagerlyLa besa con ansias
I feel her by my sideLa siente a mi lado
And I go, dreaming like thisY voy, así soñando
Further each timeMás lejos cada vez

White dove that flies byPalomita blanca que pasás volando
Heading to the little house where my love isRumbo a la casita donde está mi amor
White dove, for the sad absent onePalomita blanca, para el triste ausente
You are a reminderTú eres una carta de recordación
If you see the one I adoreSi la ves a la que adoro
Without saying I cry, give her some ideaSin decir que lloro, dale alguna idea
Of how bitter it is to live without herDe lo muy amargo que es vivir sin ella
To lose her loving warmthQue es perder su amante calor
Keep going, my troop matesSigan adelante, bayos de mi tropa
That we are a wandering windstormQue de un viento errante somos nubarrón
And in the illness of absence, life slips away from usY en un mal de ausencia se nos va la vida
Heading towards the beloved place, bidding farewellRumbo a la querencia dándole el adiós
White dove!Palomita blanca!
Fly night and day from my nest in searchVuela noche y día de mi nido en busca
And write in the sky with serene flightY escribí en el cielo con sereno vuelo
She never forgets you, only thinks of youNo te olvida nunca, solo piensa en ti

He who never leftNo sabe aquel que nunca dejó
His beloved far away doesn't knowSu amada a la distancia, el pesar
The sorrow that the soul imposes a harsh rigorQue el alma impone un duro rigor
That comes from the sideQue viene de ladero
That sometimes mentions herQue a ratos la nombra
Measuring there in the shadowMidiendo allá en la sombra
The lands she leftLos pagos que dejó
I've seen her cry in my armsLa he visto entre mis brazos llorar
I've seen her wave her warm handkerchiefLa he visto al darme vuelta al partir
As I turned to leaveSu tibio pañuelo agitar
And then shrinking awayY luego irse achicando
Her distant imageSu imagen lejana
And in my soul enlargedY en mi alma agrandado
Her charm and this sorrowSu encanto y esta pena
Of not having her anymoreDe no tenerla más
