Lyrics in English
She appeared at my window,
I welcomed her with much love.
She wouldn’t fly, she was shy,
I felt like her protector.
She was mine, she was mine.
Every day, I took care of her,
Showering her with my love.
But one morning, suddenly,
She took flight and left.
She had an owner, she had an owner.
Oh, what pain!
(Chorus)
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
She appeared at my window,
I welcomed her with much love.
She wouldn’t fly, she was shy,
I felt like her protector.
She was mine, she was mine.
Every day, I took care of her,
Showering her with my love.
But one morning, suddenly,
She took flight and left.
She had an owner, she had an owner.
Oh, what pain!
(Chorus)
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
You will suffer, you will cry when you remember.
Stray dove, I thought you were good,
Now you leave and abandon me with my sorrow.
Original Lyrics
Se apareció en mi ventana
La acogà con mucho amor
No echaba vuelo, era huraña
Me sentà su protector
Ya era mÃa, ya era mÃa
Todos los dÃas cuidaba de ella
Prodigándole mi amor
Cuando de pronto una mañana
Alzando vuelo se marchó
TenÃa dueño, tenÃa dueño
¡Ay, qué dolor!
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
Se apareció en mi ventana
La acogà con mucho amor
No echaba vuelo, era huraña
Me sentà su protector
Ya era mÃa, ya era mÃa
Todos los dÃas cuidaba de ella
Prodigándole mi amor
Cuando de pronto una mañana
Alzando vuelo se marchó
TenÃa dueño, tenÃa dueño
¡Ay, qué dolor!
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
Vas a sufrir, vas a llorar cuando te acuerdes
Paloma ajena, te creà buena
Ahora te marchas y me dejas con mi pena
