Translation of the song Una Paloma Blanca artist Diana Navarro

Una paloma blanca, como la nieve

A white dove, like the snow

como la nieve

Like the snow

tiene el pico de oro

It has a beak of gold

alas de plata

Wings of silver

color de lirio

Iris-coloured

paloma si vas a bañarte

Dove, if you're going to bathe

vente conmigo.

Come with me

Por candelas los pastores

With candles the shepherds

corren algunas montañas

Go over some mountains

y tú con tus malas acciones

And you with your evil actions

me andas destrozando el alma

Are destroying my soul

como quieres que yo te camele ay

How do you expect me to win you over ay

Por meterme en tu cuarto a deshora

For going into your room at the wrong time

prisionerito me llevan ahora

They're taking me prisoner now

por meterme en tu cuarto a dormir

For going into your room to sleep

prisionerito me llevan a mi

They're taking me prisoner

Caballo careto tordo

Dapple-grey, bald-faced1 horse

sacame de este arenal que me viene persiguiendo

Take me away from this sandy area, the municipal police

la guardia municipal

Are pursuing me

Una paloma blanca, como la nieve

A white dove, like the snow

como la nieve

Like the snow

la otra tarde bajó al río a bañarse

The other evening it went down to the river to bathe

que quieres

What do you want

tiene el pico de oro

It has a beak of gold

alas de plata

Wings of silver

color de lirio

Iris-coloured

Dove, if you're going to batheeeeee

Comeeeeeeeee with meeeeeeeee
