La palomita
 (Sung text for setting by C. Guastavino)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Una paloma blanca 
como la nieve 
me ha picado en el alma, 
mucho me duele. 

Dulce paloma, 
¿cómo pretendes 
herir el alma 
de quien te quiere? 

Tu pico hermoso 
brindó placeres;
pero en mi pecho 
picó cual sierpe. 

Pues dime, ingrata, 
¿porqué 
volverme males 
dándote bienes? 

Ah! Nadie fíe 
de aves aleves, 
que a aquel que halagan 
mucho más hieren. 

Una paloma blanca 
como la nieve 
me ha picado en el alma, 
mucho me duele.
