Una palomita blanca

Language: Spanish (Español)

Available translation(s): FRE GER

Una palomita blanca
como la nieva,
baja al rio a beber agua,
bañarse quiere.
Paloma, si vas al monte,
mira que soy cazador.
Si tiro un tiro y te mato,
para ti será el dolor,
paloma blanca
como la nieve.

Ein weißes Täubchen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)

Ein Täubchen weiß
wie Schnee
kommt herab zum Fluss, den Durst zu löschen,
möchte auch ins Wasser gehen.
Taube, wenn kehrst du in die Berge heim,
wisse wohl, dass ich dich jage.
Wenn ich schieße und dich töte,
wird dies für dich schmerzhaft sein,
Taube weiß
wie Schnee.
