Lyrics

Joan Manuel Serrat - La paloma

Se equivocó la paloma,
se equivocaba.
Por ir al norte, fue al sur
creyó que el trigo era agua,
se equivocaba. Creyó que el mar era el cielo
que la noche, la mañana,
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Que las estrellas, rocío
que la calor, la nevada,
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Que tu falda era tu blusa
que tu corazón, su casa,Joan Manuel Serrat - La paloma - http://motolyrics.com/joan-manuel-serrat/la-paloma-lyrics-english-translation.html
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Ella se durmió en la orilla,
tú en la cumbre de una rama. Creyó que el mar era el cielo
que la noche, la mañana,
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Que las estrellas, rocío
que la calor, la nevada,
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Que tu falda era tu blusa
que tu corazón, su casa,
se equivocaba,
se equivocaba. Submitter's comments:  Originally a poem by Rafael Alberti. The music was composed by Carlos Gustavino and Segio Endrigo.

Joan Manuel Serrat - The dove (English translation)

The dove made a mistake,
she was mistaken.
To go north, she went south
she believed that the wheat was water,
she was mistaken.

She believed the sea was the sky
that the night, the morning,
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.

That the stars, dew
that the heat, the snowfall,
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.

That thy skirt was thy blouse
that thy heart, her home,Joan Manuel Serrat - La paloma - http://motolyrics.com/joan-manuel-serrat/la-paloma-lyrics-english-translation.html
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.

She slept on the shore,
thou on the peak of a branch.

She believed the sea was the sky
that the night, the morning,
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.

That the stars, dew
that the heat, the snowfall,
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.

That thy skirt was thy blouse
that thy heart, her home,
she was mistaken,
she was mistaken.
