La Paloma
Helmut Lotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¡Valgame Dios!
Nadie me ha visto salir
Si no fuí yo.
Y una linda Guachinanga
S'allá voy yo,
Que se vino tras de mi,
Que sí señor.
Si a tu ventana llega
Una Paloma,
Tratala con cariño
Que es mi persona.
Cuentala tus amores,
Bien de mi vida,
Coronala de flores
Que es cosa mia.
Ay! chinita que sí!
Ay! que dame tu amor!
Ay! que ven te conmigo,
Chinita, adonde vivo yo!
2. El dia nos casemos
¡Valgame Dios!
En la semana que hay ir
Me hace reir
Desde la Yglesia juntitos,
Que sí señor,
Nos hiremos à dormir,
Allá voy yo.
(Refrain)
3. Cuando el curita nos seche
La bendicion
En la Yglesia Catedral
Allá voy yo
Yo te daré la manita
Con mucho amor
Y el cura dos hisopazos
Que sí señor
(Refrain)
4. Cuando haya pasado tiempo
¡Valgame Dios!
De que estemos casaditos
Pues sí señor,
Lo menos tendremos siete
Y que furor!
O quince guachinanguitos
Allá voy yo
The song "La Paloma" by Helmut Lotti is about a man who leaves Havana and takes with him a beautiful woman named Guachinanga. The lyrics are in Spanish and the song is written in a traditional Cuban style. The song begins with the man leaving Havana and nobody seeing him go except for Guachinanga, who has followed him. The refrain of the song talks about a Paloma (a dove) that the man asks the listener to treat with kindness as it represents him. He asks the listener to tell the dove about his life and loves and to crown her with flowers, which is his responsibility.
The second verse talks about the day the man and Guachinanga will get married and how they will go to sleep together after their wedding. The third verse talks about how when they are married, the man will give Guachinanga his hand and the priest will bless them with holy water. The fourth and final verse talks about how many children they will have and how it will cause a lot of excitement. The song ends on a hopeful note that they will be happy together.
Overall, the song is about love, devotion, and hope for the future. It paints a picture of a couple who are deeply in love and looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together.
