Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Paloma by Nana Mouskouri from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando salí de la habana, válgame Dios
When I left Havana, God help me
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fui yo
Nobody has seen me leave but it was me
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
And a pretty guachinanga like a flower
Se vino detrás de mí, que sí señor
He came after me, yes sir
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
If a dove comes to your window
Trátala con cario que es mi persona
Treat her with affection, she is my person
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Tell him your loves about my life
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Crown her with flowers, it's my thing
Ay chinita que sí
Oh little girl, yes
Ay que dame tu amor
Oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh come with me little girl
A donde vivo yo
Where do I live?
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
And a pretty guachinanga like a flower
Se vino detrás de mí, que sí señor
He came after me, yes sir
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
If a dove comes to your window
Trátala con cario que es mi persona
Treat her with affection, she is my person
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Tell him your loves about my life
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Crown her with flowers, it's my thing
Ay chinita que sí
Oh little girl, yes
Ay que dame tu amor
Oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh come with me little girl
A donde vivo yo
Where do I live?
Ay chinita que sí
Oh little girl, yes
Ay que dame tu amor
Oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh come with me little girl
A donde vivo yo
Where do I live?
