La Muerte Del Palomo [English translation]

You will never return, pigeon,

the dovecote is sad,

the pigeon was alone,

drowning in sobs,

because he already cannot cry......

Poor pigeon,

he is tired of suffering

and looks at the sky

to pray to God for his death

as he does not want to live this way......

In tears, in crying, in tears

since you left

It was the pigeon weeping..

For crying, for crying, for crying

he neither can see, nor fly anymore

he approaches his death agonizing of

so much waiting......

He will die, he will die, he will die,

the pigeon will die because

the death is when there is a loneliness......

Look towards the sky, we will see him flying

he will be thanked for those memories

and when he folds the wings that sheltered him,

he will drown in his dreams and will not wake up…

He will die, he will die, he will die,

the pigeon will die because

the death is when there is a loneliness......

Look towards the sky, we will see him flying

he will be thanked for those memories

and when he folds the wings that sheltered him,

he will drown in his dreams and will not wake up…
