La Palomita

The Little Dove

La Palomita

How beautifully the little dove sangQué bonito que cantaba
In its nestLa palomita en su nido
Opening its beak and wingsAbriendo el pico y las alas
As if speaking to meCómo si hablara conmigo
Yes, oh, my little doveSí, ay, ay, mi palomita
You have stolen all my soulMe has robado toda el alma
Toita toitaititaToita toitaitita
My colossal little doveMi colosal palomita
How beautifully the water runsQué linda que corre el agua
Under the almond treesDebajo de los almendros
If only my love flowed like thatAsí corriera mi amor
If there were no evil tonguesSi no hubiera malas lenguas
Yes, oh, oh, ohSí ay, ay, ay
Just like the little doveIgual que la palomita
That flew from its nestQue se voló de su nido
That's how your love left meAsí me dejo tu amor
And today the forgetfulness torments meY hoy me atormenta el olvido
Yes, oh, oh, ohSí, ay, ay, ay

My little doveMi palomita
You have stolen all my soulMe has robado toda el alma
All all tuititaToda toda tuitita
The charming little doveLa donosa palomita

Remember, little doveAcuérdate, palomita
When you slept in my armsCuando en mis brazos dormías
When thirst troubled youCuando la sed te apuraba
You drank from my tearsDe mis lágrimas bebías

My little dove has already leftYa se fue mi palomita
To the place where it was bornAl pago donde nació
What seas lie in betweenQué mares hay por el medio
So I can't goPara que no pueda ir yo
