Una Paloma Blanca

"Una Paloma Blanca" (Spanish for "a white dove") is a popular song from the past which was written by the Dutch musician George Baker, and first recorded and released by his band The George Baker Selection in March 1975.

According to Wikipedia, Baker has been quoted as saying the song is about "a poor South American farmer who works hard all day and then sits by a tree and dreams of being a white bird with its freedom."

When the sun shines on the mountains

And the night is on the run

It's a new day, it's a new way

And I fly up to the sun

I can feel the morning sunlight

I can smell the new-born hay

I can hear God's voices calling

From my golden sky-light way

Una paloma blanca

I'm just a bird in the sky

Una paloma blanca

Over the mountain I fly

No one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of losing

Once they locked me on a chain

Yes, they tried to break my power

Oh, I still can feel the pain

Una paloma blanca

I'm just a bird in the sky

Una paloma blanca

Over the mountain I fly

No one can take my freedom away
