SOLEDAD BRAVO "Parabién De La Paloma"

The she-dove died and the he-dove didn't know
The she-dove died and the he-dove didn't know
"Get up, little dove", he said over and over
"We're going to get married as soon as the weather clears up".
Such sad announcements must I sing.

The she-dove died and the he-dove is weeping
The she-dove died and the he-dove is weeping
This poor dove, where will he fly to?
There won't be lights in the church
there won't be happiness or songs
Such sad announcements must I sing.

The she-dove died, she died from a gunshot
The she-dove died, she died from a gunshot
A man was watching with a gun in his hand
Her brothers were waiting for her in the church
Such sad announcements must I sing.

The she-dove died and a child is still weeping
The she-dove died and a child is still weeping
The man with the gun doesn't know what love is.
He's never been in a temple, he's never lit a candle
Such sad announcements must I sing.

The she-dove died, a cowardly man killed her
The she-dove died, a cowardly man killed her
Knowing that she was innocent, let's punish the guilty party.
The he-dove doesn't pardon him; her mother doesn't pardon him.
Such sad announcements must I sing.

The she-dove died, ladies and gentlemen
The she-dove died, ladies and gentlemen
The man sold the gun and kept on causing death.
Shooting at brothers, destroying continents
Such sad announcements must I sing.
