During his career, which started in 1948 in what was then Yugoslavia, he made more than one hundred records, mostly singles. In his own country, the most memorable of his many songs might be Vraćam se Zagrebe tebi (Coming Back to You, My Zagreb), Ta tvoja ruka mala (That Little Hand of Yours), and Tiho plove moje čežnje (Silent Sail of My Yearnings).
La Paloma
Ivo Robić Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E escrevi dentro nosso nome
Que tal se hoje a gente sair pra dançar
Embaixo das estrelas um pra cá 2 pra lá
Aumenta o som do carro
Fica de pés descalços
E deixa que do resto eu me encarrego
Preciso tanto te fazer feliz
E escondi no meu bolso pra você não ver
Consigo imaginar a gente no altar
Ouvindo ...
Que a gente pode se beijar
Eu aqui esperando você vindo de branco
A cada passo o peito bate fora do compasso
Preciso tanto saber...
Quer casar comigo?
Não precisa responder
Só balance a cabeça
Eu vou saber se isso é um sim!
The opening line of "Fiz uma aliança de papel" translates to "I made a paper ring" and sets the romantic tone for the rest of the song. The singer writes their names on the inside of the paper ring and asks their significant other to dance under the stars while they take care of the details. The singer wants nothing but to make their partner happy and make their dreams come true, including proposing with the paper ring they created.
As the song builds up, the singer plays out a possible scenario where the two will exchange vows and get married. The singer paints the image of their partner walking down the aisle in a white dress, heart racing, and feeling out of sync with the beat of their chest. At the climax of the song, the singer proposes to their partner asking them to nod their head if they want to get married, and the singer will take it as a yes.
Overall, the song La Paloma is a declaration of love and commitment, and highlights the importance of making the people you love feel special.

Fiz uma aliança de papel
I made a paper ring
E escrevi dentro nosso nome
And wrote our name inside
Que tal se hoje a gente sair pra dançar
What if we go out dancing tonight
Embaixo das estrelas um pra cá 2 pra lá
Under the stars, one step here, two steps there
Aumenta o som do carro
Turn up the car radio
Fica de pés descalços
Take off your shoes
E deixa que do resto eu me encarrego
And let me take care of the rest
Preciso tanto te fazer feliz
I need to make you happy
E escondi no meu bolso pra você não ver
And hid it in my pocket so you wouldn't see
Consigo imaginar a gente no altar
I can imagine us at the altar
Ouvindo ...
Listening to...
Que a gente pode se beijar
That we can kiss
Eu aqui esperando você vindo de branco
Me here, waiting for you in white
A cada passo o peito bate fora do compasso
My heart beats out of rhythm with each step
Preciso tanto saber...
I need to know so much...
Quer casar comigo?
Will you marry me?
Não precisa responder
You don't have to answer
Só balance a cabeça
Just nod your head
Eu vou saber se isso é um sim!
I'll know if that's a yes!
