Palomita De Ojos Negros

Little Dove with Black Eyes

Palomita De Ojos Negros

A white little dove, a white little doveUna blanca palomita, una blanca palomita
With black eyes... black... black...De ojos negors... negros... negros...
Stopped at my little window to tell me its sorrowSe paro en mi ventanita a contarme su pena
My delight has thornsMe delito tiene espinas
I can't bear them anymoreYa no las puedo aguantar

Sadly it told me when suddenly the bellsTristemente me contaba cuando en eso las campanas
Of a tiny churchDe una iglesia chiquitita
Scared the ungrateful one, and to its nest it wentAsustaron a la ingrata, y a su nido fue a parar
Without me being able to tell it that its pain was my painSin que pudiera decirle que su mal era mi mal

Dove... Dove...Paloma... Paloma...
You look just like my soulJustamente te pareces a mi alma
Dove... Dove...Paloma... Paloma...
You are just like my pain's sisterJustamente eres hermana de mi mal
