La Paloma

The Dove

La Paloma

When I left Havana, dear GodCuando salí de la habana, válgame dios
No one saw me leave but myselfNadie me ha visto salir sino fuí yo
And a lovely girl like a flowerY una linda guachinanga como una flor
Came after me, yes sirSe vino detrás de mí, que si señor

If a dove comes to your windowSi a tu ventana llega una paloma
Treat her kindly, it's meTrátala con cariño que es mi persona
Tell her about your loves, about my lifeCuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Crown her with flowers, it's my thingCorónala de flores que es cosa mía
Oh little Chinese girl, oh give me your loveAy chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Oh come with me, little Chinese girlAy que vente conmigo chinita
To where I liveA donde vivo yo
