Paloma Blanca
Bertín Osborne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me marche de tu lado
Porque no quería perder mi libertad
Quise vivir la vida
Quise sentirme libre
Volar sin tenerle miedo a la soledad
Aquellos años pasados
Vividos entre tus brazos, mi amor
Ya tengo algunas canas
Y la soledad me cansa
Quisiera volar de aquí
Y no volver más
Paloma blanca
Alza el vuelo y llévame
Paloma blanca
Quiero irme y no volver
Cuando la veas, dile que yo
Vivo de sueños y de ilusión
Me bebo el viento
Y sobre una nube
Le canto al sol
Hablarle a las estrellas
Contarles porque mi vida
Ha estado casi vacía, sin tu amor
Decirles que siempre tuve
Amorios pasajeros
De los que no dejan huella, ni dolor
Paloma blanca
Alza el vuelo y llévame
Paloma blanca
Quiero irme y no volver
Cuando la veas dile que yo
Vivo de sueños y de ilusión
Me bebo el viento
Y sobre una nube
Le canto al sol
Paloma blanca (coro)
Alza el vuelo y llévame
Paloma blanca (coro)
Quiero irme y no volver (x2)
The lyrics of Bertin Osborne's Paloma Blanca narrate a story of a man who left his lover many years ago in search of finding his freedom. He wanted to live his life and feel free without the fear of facing solitude. As he reflects on his past, he feels nostalgic about the years they spent together and reminisces about the love she gave him. However, now he feels different, he has aged and is tired of being alone. The desire to leave and never come back is stronger than ever, and he wishes to fly away like a white dove in the sky.
The singer speaks to the white dove as a symbol of peace and freedom, asking it to take him away and never look back. When he meets his lover again, he wants to tell her that he's living his life with dreams and aspirations, though empty without her love. He lives on with temporary affections without any emotions or memories tied to them. The lyrics express his desire to escape the loneliness and fly far away into a new horizon with hopes of starting anew.
