Song lyrics La Paloma by Nana Mouskouri

1860 (ca)
Sebastián Yradier (España)

Cuando salí de La Habana, válgame Dios
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fuí yo

Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor.
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo.

Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Ay chinita que si, ay que darme 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.

Translation
When I left Habana, oh my God!
No one has seen me leave, it wasn?t me.

And a Mexican girl, sweet as a flower.
Who followed behind me, oh yes sir
If at your window a dove arrives.
Treat it with affection, for it is I.
Tell it about your loves, good of my life.
Crown it with flowers, for it?s mine.
Oh! Curly-haired yes,Oh! Give me your love!
Oh! Come with me.Curly-haired,
to where I live!

And a Mexican girl, sweet as a flower.
Who followed behind me, oh yes sir
If at your window a dove arrives.
Treat it with affection, for it is I.
Tell it about your loves, good of my life.
Crown it with flowers, for it?s mine.
Oh! Curly-haired yes,Oh! Give me your love!
Oh! Come with me.Curly-haired,
to where I live!
