Original lyrics
Se equivocó la paloma
Se equivocó la paloma.
Se equivocaba.
Por ir al Norte, fue al Sur.
Creyó que el trigo era agua.
Se equivocaba.
Creyó que el mar era el cielo;
que la noche la mañana.
Se equivocaba.
Que las estrellas eran rocío;
que la calor, la nevada.
Se equivocaba.
Que tu falda era tu blusa;
que tu corazón su casa.
Se equivocaba.
(Ella se durmió en la orilla.
Tú, en la cumbre de una rama.)

Translation
The Dove
The dove was wrong.
The dove was mistaken.
To travel north she flew south,
Believing the wheat was water.
Believing the sea was sky,
That the night was dawn.
That the stars were dew,
That the heat was snowfall.
Your skirt your blouse,
Your heart your home.
(She fell asleep on the shore,
You at the tip of a branch.)
