La Paloma
Nana Mouskouri
Lyrics
Translation
Cuando salí de la habana, válgame dios
When I left Havana, oh my God
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fuí yo
Nobody saw me leave except for me
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
And a lovely little girl like a flower
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor
She came after me, oh yes sir
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
If a dove arrives at your window
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Treat her kindly, she's my representative
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Tell her about your loves, all about my life
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Crown her with flowers, it's my thing
Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Oh little Chinese girl, oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh, come with me, little Chinese girl
A donde vivo yo
To where I live
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
And a lovely little girl like a flower
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor
She came after me, oh yes sir
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
If a dove arrives at your window
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Treat her kindly, she's my representative
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Tell her about your loves, all about my life
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Crown her with flowers, it's my thing
Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Oh little Chinese girl, oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh, come with me, little Chinese girl
A donde vivo yo
To where I live
Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Oh little Chinese girl, oh give me your love
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
Oh, come with me, little Chinese girl
A donde vivo yo
To where I live
