Palomita

Little Dove

Palomita

Little dove, little dovePalomita, palomita
Cheer me up with your songAlégrame con tu canto
Take away this little painQuítame esta penita
And end my heartbreakY acaba con mi quebranto

Little dove, if while flyingPalomita si volando
You run into that ungrateful oneTe encuentras con esa ingrata
Tell her that I'm cryingDile que estoy llorando
Because this sorrow's killing mePorque la pena me mata

An ungrateful one has left meUna ingrata se me ha ido
A deep sorrow's what she’s leftHonda pena me ha dejado
How sad is my nestQué triste que está mi nido
My love has withered awayYa mi amor se ha marchitado

If I could flySi yo pudiera volar
In search of my belovedEn busca de mi amada
And bring some joyY poder alegrar
To my life that's so desolateMi vida tan desolada

Little dove, I beg youPalomita, yo te imploro
If you find my belovedPor si encuentras a mi amada
Tell her that I adore herCuéntale que la adoro
As she is my cherished oneComo es mi venerada
