The Little Dove

Los Cadetes de Linares

El Palomito

Una palomita blanca
De piquito Colorado
Ayer, yo la vi llorando
En las cumbres de un guayabo

Curru-cu, curru-cu
Le cantaba el palomito
Curru-cu, curru-cu
Que volviera a su nidito

Blanca palomita, vuela
Vuela por esa pradera
Aquí te estaré esperando
Aunque de dolor me muera

Curru-cu, curru-cu
Le cantaba el palomito
Curru-cu, curru-cu
Que volviera a su nidito

En las cumbres del guayabo
Muy lejos del palomar
Ahí estaba la paloma
Llorando sin descansar

Curru-cu, curru-cu
Le cantaba el palomito
Curru-cu, curru-cu
Que volviera a su nidito

The Little Dove

A white little dove
With a red beak
Yesterday, I saw her crying
On the hilltops of a guava tree

Curru-cu, curru-cu
The little dove sang to her
Curru-cu, curru-cu
To return to her little nest

White little dove, fly
Fly over that meadow
I'll be waiting for you here
Even if I die of sorrow

Curru-cu, curru-cu
The little dove sang to her
Curru-cu, curru-cu
To return to her little nest

On the hilltops of the guava tree
Far from the dovecote
There was the dove
Crying without rest

Curru-cu, curru-cu
The little dove sang to her
Curru-cu, curru-cu
To return to her little nest
