Palomita Blanca Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Palomita Blanca by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Te diré: 'Soy tan feliz
I'll tell you: "I'm so happy
Cuando estoy cerca de ti
When I'm close to you
Que no me acostumbro
That I don't get used to it
Si no escucho el verde de tu voz'
If I don't hear the green of your voice"
Ya lo ves nada es igual
You see, nothing is the same
Todo es frio si no estás palomita blanca
Everything is cold if you're not here, little white dove
Llévale en tus alas mi canción
Take her my song on your wings
Dile que las noches no han callado
Tell her that the nights haven't been silent
De amor hablaron
They spoke of love
Y no se han ido
And they haven't left
Dile que la quiero y que la extraño
Tell her that I love her and that I miss her
Que no he olvidado
That I haven't forgotten
Y que he sufrido
And that I've suffered
Ya lo sé
I know
Cuento mi error
I acknowledge my error
Pero entiendo que el amor
But I understand that love
Todo lo perdona y nunca se acaba, corazón
Forgives everything and never ends, babe
Ya lo ves nada es igual
You see, nothing is the same
Todo es vano si no estás
Everything is in vain if you're not here
Palomita blanca
Little white dove
Llévale en tus alas mi canción
Take her my song on your wings
Dile que las noches no han callado
Tell her that the nights haven't been silent
De amor hablaron
They spoke of love
Y no se han ido
And they haven't left
Dile que la quiero y que la extraño
Tell her that I love her and that I miss her
Que no he olvidado
That I haven't forgotten
Y que he sufrido
And that I've suffered
Y una gaviota de luz
And a seagull of light
Entre las olas del mar
Among the waves of the sea
Va recogiendo el azul
Is gathering the blue
Que yo no te supe dar
That I didn't know how to give you
Y una aurora con besos de tú
And a dawn with kisses of you
Dile que las noches no han callado
Tell her that the nights haven't been silent
De amor hablaron
They spoke of love
Y no se han ido
And they haven't left
Dile que la quiero y que la extraño
Tell her that I love her and that I miss her
Que no he olvidado
That I haven't forgotten
Y que he sufrido, -ido, -ido
And that I've suffered, -ered, -ered
