Song title: La Paloma
Singer: Nana Mouskouri
Lyrics: Anonymous
Composer: Sebastian Ila Thiel
Cuando salí de la habana' válgame dios
When I left Havana harbor alone
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fuí yo
< p>No one sees how sad I amY una linda guachinanga como una flor
Only the beautiful girl
Se vino detrás de mí' que si se?or
She clung to me sadly
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
If a pigeon flies to your window
p>
Trátala con cari?o que es mi persona
I ask you to welcome it as kindly as you do to me
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
p>
Ah, please tell it the love in your heart
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Please also put the garland on it
Ay chinita que si' ay que dame tu amor
What a beautiful little dove
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
My dear girl
A donde vivo yo
Come to me quickly
Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Only the beauty The girl
Se vino detrás de mí' que si se?or
She nestled beside me sadly
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma< /p>
Suppose a pigeon flies to your window
Trátala con cari?o que es mi persona
I ask you to greet it as kindly as you would me< /p>
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Ah, please tell it the love in your heart
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
< p>Please also put that garland on itAy chinita que si' ay que dame tu amor
What a beautiful little dove
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
My dear girl
A donde vivo yo
Come to me
Ay chinita que si' ay que dame tu amor
What a beautiful little dove
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
My dear girl
A donde vivo yo
Come quickly to the place where I live

Song background
The song "Pigeon" was born In the 19th century, it is a song composed by the famous Spanish composer Sebastian Elatier. He has written many songs, most of which have a strong flavor of Spanish folk songs. The song "Pigeon" was composed by Iratil when he was living abroad in Havana, Cuba. The song adopts the rhythm of Habanera, a Cuban folk dance.
Usually in medium or slow tempo, in 2/4 time, Habanera is a dance music introduced and popular in Spain in the 19th century. It is said that Iratil is better than the French composer. My friend, Iratil gave Bizet the influence of Spanish music, and the famous habanera "Love is like a free bird" in Bizet's opera "Carmen" is a direct quotation of Ilatil's tune.
