La Paloma

La Paloma  (The Dove)

by Julio Iglesias


Una canción me recuerda aquel ayer
A song reminds me of yesterday,

cuando se marchó en silencio un atardecer
when she left in silence at dusk.

se fué con su canto triste a otro lugar
She went away, somewhere else, with her sad song.

dejó como compañera mi soledad
She left behind my solitude as companion.

Una paloma blanca me canta al alba
A white dove sings to me at dawn.

viejas melancolías, cosas del alma
Old melancholies, things of the soul,

llegan con el silencio de la mañana
arrive with the morning's silence

y cuando salgo a verla, vuela a su casa
and when I go outside to see it, it flies back home.

Donde va que mi voz
Where does it go, that my voice

ya no quiere escuchar
doesn't wish to listen anymore?

donde va que mi vida se apaga
Where does it go, that my life is extinguished

si junto a mi no está
if she's not beside me?

Si quisiera volver
If only she'd want to come back

yo la iría a esperar
I'd go wait for her.

cada día cada madrugada
every day, every sunrise


para quererla mas
to love her even more



"La Paloma" is a popular song, having been produced and reinterpreted in diverse cultures, settings, arrangements, and recordings over the last 140 years. The song was composed and written by Spanish composer Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) after he visited Cuba in 1861. Iradier may have composed "La Paloma" around 1863, just two years before he died in Spain in obscurity, never to learn how popular his song would become.

The influence of the local Cuban habanera gives the song its characteristic and distinctive rhythm. Very quickly "La Paloma" became popular in Mexico, and soon spread around the world. In many places.



Cuando sali de la habana, valgame dios
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fui yo
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Se vino detras de mi, que si seor

Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
Tratala con cario que es mi persona
Cuntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Cornala de flores que es cosa mia

Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo


Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo
