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 . . .

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

coo coo roo coo coo ( Spanish )

Coo coo roo coo coo . . .

coo coo roo coo coo . . .

coo coo roo coo coo . . . paloma . . .
