Parabien de la Paloma La paloma se murio y el palomo no sabia La paloma se murio y el palomo no sabia levantate palomita, le decia, le decia nos iremos a casar apenas aclare el dia que parabienes tristes tengo que cantar yo. La paloma se murio y el palomo esta llorando La paloma se murio y el palomo esta llorando pobre este palomito donde se ira volando no habra luces en la iglesia, no habra alegrias ni cantos que parabienes tristes tengo que cantar yo. La paloma se murio, se murio con un disparo La paloma se murio, se murio con un disparo un hombre estaba mirando con un fusil en la mano se quedaron esperando en la iglesia sus hermanos que parabienes tristes tengo que cantar yo. La paloma se murio, llorando se queda un niño La paloma se murio, llorando se queda un niño el hombre del fusil no sabe lo que es cariño nunca dentro en un templo, nunca ha encendido un cirio que parabienes tristes, tengo que cantar yo. La paloma se murio, la mato un hombre cobarde La paloma se murio, la mato un hombre cobarde sabiendo que era inocente, castiguemos al culpable no lo perdona el palomo, no lo perdona su madre que parabienes tristes, tengo que cantar yo. La paloma se murio, señores aqui presentes La paloma se murio, señores aqui presentes el hombre vendio el fusil siguio causando la muerte disparando sobre hermanos, destruyendo continentes que parabienes tristes tengo que cantar yo.

Congratulations (?) of the dove 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. Questions: - what do the doves symbolize? - who, or what, does the man with the gun symbolize? I have my own theories; please email me yours.
