LETTER OF “THE DEATH OF THE COLOM”

You will never return pigeon

Sad is the dovecote

The pigeon was left alone

Drowning between sobs

Well he can’t cry anymore

Poverty of the dove

He is tired of suffering

And looking up at the sky

He asks God for his death

That he doesn’t want to live like that

To cry, to cry, to cry

Ever since you left

He was the dove in pure weeping

To cry, to cry, to cry

He can no longer see, nor can he fly

His death is approaching is agonizing with so much waiting

He will die, he will die, he will die

The dove will die because it will

It is death when there is loneliness

He will look up at the sky, and fly near you

He will thank you for these memories

And when you crossed the wings that welcomed you

He will drown in his dreams that did not awaken

He will die, he will die, he will die

The dove will die because so

It is death when there is loneliness

He will look up at the sky, near you flying

He will thank you for these memories

And when you crossed the wings that welcomed you

He will drown in his dreams that did not awaken
