Please, pretty little dove
Hurry to my love, tell her this for me
Since she is far away
Every day is sad, blue as it can be
I couldn't even start
Pouring out my heart to her in a letter
You pretty little bird
You can sing the words, you can tell her better

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma
Tell her that I'm oh so lonely
Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma
Tell her that I love her only

Say that I love her so
Everywhere I go
All I do is yearn
Just longing for her kiss
Dreaming of the bliss
When she will return
My head is full of stars
Full of soft guitars
Full of lover's wooing
Please hurry to her there
Tell her that I care
Tell her with your cooing

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma
Tell her that I'm oh so lonely
Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma
Tell her that I love her only

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo
Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo
Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, paloma
