Junto a tu cuello de porcelana
Next to your porcelain neck
(Paloma mía)

Yo me tendiera, paloma mía
I would lie down, my dove
(De mis mañanas)
(Of my mornings)
Quién lo pudiera besar un día
Who could kiss it one day
Quién lo posara sobre tu cama
Who could lay it upon your bed
Junto a tu boca de fina grana
Next to your mouth of fine crimson
Yo me durmiera, paloma mía
I would fall asleep, my dove
Si me quisieras cuánto querría
If you loved me how much I would love
Paloma rosa de mis mañanas
Pink dove of my mornings
Junto a tu cuello de porcelana
Next to your porcelain neck
Yo me tendiera, paloma mía
I would lay down, my dove
Quién lo pudiera besar un día
Who could kiss it one day
Quién lo posara sobre tu cama
Who could place it on your bed
Quién lo posara sobre tu cama
Who could place it on your bed
Digo tu nombre todos los días

Digo tu nombre, paloma amada

Porque tu boca la más soñada

Porque tu cuello y la lejanía
Because your neck and the distance
Porque tu cuello y la lejanía
Because your neck and the distance
Junto a tu cuello de porcelana
Next to your porcelain neck
