(English)
La paloma azul
que del cielo bajó,
con las alas doradas
y en el pico una flor,
de la flor una lima,
de la lima un limón;
vale más
mi morena (1)
que los rayos del sol.
Y a los titiriteros
que me pagan la entrada (2)
yo te amo y te quiero
y me muero por ti.
The blue dove
That came down from the sky,
With its golden wings
And a flower in its beak,
From the flower, a lime,
From a lime, a lemon;
My dark-haired one (1)
Is worth
More than the sunbeams
And at the puppet masters'
Who pay the entrance fare for me, (2)
I love you and cherish you
And I'll die for you.
Notes
(1) We can't be sure if it refers to the color of the hair or the skin.
(2) This can also be found as "quien me paga la entrada" (who buys me the entrance fare) which doesn't make much sense.
