La Paloma

A song reminds me of that yesterday
When it silently left at dusk
It went with its sad song to another place
It left my loneliness as a companion

A white dove sings to me at dawn
Old melancholies, things of the soul
They come with the silence of the morning
And when I go out to see her, she flies back home

Where does she go? That she no longer wants to hear my voice
Where does she go? That my life fades if she's not by my side
If she wanted to return, I would go wait for her
Every day, every dawn, to love her more

She went with her sad song to another place
She left my loneliness as a companion
