Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tratala con carino que es mi persona.
Cuentale tus amores bien de mi vida.
nala de flores que es cosa mia.
Ay chinita que si
Ay que dame tu amor.
A donde vivo yo.
Ay chinita que si ...
La, la ...
Seh ich auch andre Menschen und fremde Sterne,
denk ich an dich und grüße dich aus der Ferne.
Bin ich auch weit, im sonnigsten Land der Erde,
weißt du, dass ich dich niemals vergessen werde.
La Paloma, ohe, einmal müssen wir geh'n,
einmal schlägt uns die Stunde der Trennung.
Einmal komm ich zurück.
La Paloma, ohe, einmal müssen wir geh'n,
einmal schlägt uns die Stunde der Trennung.
Einmal komm ich zurück.
La, la ...
The song La Paloma by Anthony Ventura and his Orchestra tells the story of a man who asks his beloved to treat the dove that may arrive at her window with kindness since it represents him. He asks her to tell the dove about her love for him and delivers a message of flowers that are his special gift. The man then declares his love for a woman who he calls "chinita," and asks her to come with him to his home. He reminisces about his love for her and assures her that even when he is far away in sunny lands, he will never forget her. The chorus repeats the phrase "La Paloma," which means the dove, and it serves as a reminder that love exists even in the distance between loved ones.
La Paloma is a traditional Spanish folk song that originated in the 19th century, and it has been performed by many artists in different languages. The lyrics are widely interpreted to be about love and longing, and the dove represents hope and the possibility of reunion. Interestingly, the song has been interpreted in many ways throughout history, including as a revolutionary anthem, a song about death and a message of peace. The song has been used in many popular culture references, including in movies, TV shows and commercials. The song's melody is also used in the German song "Die Gitarre und das Meer" and in the Cuban song "Guantanamera."
