La Paloma
Vicente Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eres chiquita y bonita eres como yo te quiero
Y a volar la paloma ye
Que tu pareces campanita de la mano de un platero
Y a volar la paloma ye
Que tu te me parece al cielo cuando se viste de azul
Y a volar la paloma ye
Y a volar la paloma ye
Que yo no sabía que el mar me mataba con tanta pena
Y a volar la paloma ye
In Vicente Garcia's song "La Paloma," the chorus exclaims "A volar la paloma ye," which translates to "Fly, dove, fly!" The verses continue the romantic theme, praising a young woman for being small and beautiful, just as he wants her. The comparison to a little bell in the hand of a silversmith implies her delicacy and preciousness. The final line of the chorus compares her to the blue sky, indicating her beauty and perhaps her open-mindedness.
The second verse takes a bit of a darker turn as the singer describes himself frolicking in the sand at the beach before realizing that the ocean was overwhelming him with sadness to the point of killing him. This juxtaposition of the beauty of nature with the potential for danger and melancholy reflects the complexities of love and life. Overall, the song is a passionate celebration of a new love, acknowledging the potential challenges and dangers that come with it.

😍 mi favorita. Me recuerda el llano colombiano... lo que hace el arte... evocarnos lugares, olores... recuerdos que a veces ni conocemos.

Esta pieza me sabe a que su dolor era tan grande por el vacío de ese amor que "cogió playa abajo a revolcarse en la arena" y se suicidó ahogándose. Él no sabía que "el mar lo mataba con tanta pena"... y así se echó "a volar la paloma".
No sé porqué me tomó cinco años hacer este comentario. Te amo Titi <3
