La Paloma English translation
von Freddy Quinn

If a dove comes to your window
Treat it with kindness, for it is my person
Tell it your loves, my life
Crown it with flowers, for it is mine
Oh darling, yes
Oh give me your love
Oh come with me, darling
To where I live

Oh darling, yes
Oh give me your love
Oh come with me, darling
To where I live


If one day I fall prey to the raging sea
A white dove will fly to you here
Let it in without witnesses through the window
With it, my soul will be with you

Sailors, ho!

Sailors, ho!

Into the rolling sea
Black thoughts
They stagger and flee
Swiftly like the storm
And wind

Sailors, ho!

Into the rolling sea
Black thoughts
They stagger and flee
Swiftly like the storm
And wind
