Ay, mi palomita, volando se fue
Oh, my little dove, she flew away
Ay, mi palomita, volando se fue
Oh, my little dove, she flew away
Dejando su nido, con otro se fue
Leaving her nest, she went with another
Dejando su nido, con otro se fue
Leaving her nest, she went with another
Déjala que se vaya, que ella volverá
Let her go away, for she will return
Déjala que se vaya, que ella volverá
Let her go away, for she will return
Encontrará su nido, ocupado ya
She'll find her nest, already occupied
Encontrará su nido, ocupado ya
She'll find her nest, already occupied
Palomita ingrata, pecho de alelí
Ungrateful little dove, heart of alhelí
Palomita ingrata, pecho de alelí
Ungrateful little dove, heart of alhelí
Todos tus amores, dámelos a mí
All your loves, give them to me
Todos tus amores, dámelos a mí
All your loves, give them to me
