El palomo [English translation]

I raised a pigeon, oh! gee,

just as a hobby.

Now I'm crying, damn it,

because I don't see him.

Oh!, my pigeon,

I love you so much!

Now I'm alone, gosh!

You flew away and left me.

He doesn't eat wheat,

nor rice.

I used to feed him, oh! gee,

only with my immense love.

Oh!, my pigeon,

I love you so much!

Now I'm alone, gosh,

You flew away and left me.

I'm going up on the hill, damn it,

to see what happened.

Maybe a cloud hides him, damn it,

I'm starting to cry.

Oh!, my pigeon,

I love you so much!

Now I'm alone, gosh,

You flew away and left me.
