Ay Mi Paloma

Oh My Dove

Ay Mi Paloma

I carry a dove insideLlevo dentro una paloma
Oh! my doveAy! mi paloma
That sleeps in my heartQue en mi corazon se duerme
And in the marsh is a shepherdessY en la marisma es pastora
Oh! my doveAy! mi paloma

I carry a 'simpecao' insideLlevo dentro un simpecao
Oh! 'simpecao'Ay! simpecao
With two bunches of grapesCon dos racimos de uvas
In yellow embroideryEn amarillo bordao
Oh! 'simpecao'Ay! simpecao

I am the guardian of a pathYo soy guarda de un camino
Oh! my pathAy! mi camino
That my father taught meQue me lo enseñó mi padre
My children already know itYa se lo saben mis hijos
Oh! my pathAy! mi camino

Mother, when I leaveMadre cuando yo me vaya
Oh! when I leaveAy! cuando me vaya
Let me be a bell ringerDejame de campanero
To ring the bells for youPa tocarte las campanas
Oh! when I leaveAy! cuando me vaya

And it's because I love you so muchY es que te quiero tanto
That you give me chillsQue me das escalofríos
And I cry for youY te lloro
