Paloma Mia
Silvio Rodriguez · Other Songs - Silvio Rodriguez
yo me tendiera, paloma mía.
Quién lo pudiera besar un día,
quién lo posara sobre tu cama.
Junto a tu boca de fina grana
yo me durmiera, paloma mía.
Si me quisieras, cuánto querría,
paloma rosa de mis mañanas.
Junto a tu cuello de porcelana
yo me tendiera, paloma mía.
Quién lo pudiera besar un día,
quién lo posara sobre tu cama.
Digo tu nombre todos los días.
Digo tu nombre paloma amada,
porque tu boca, la más soñada,
porque tu cuello y la lejanía.
Junto a tu cuello de porcelana
yo me tendiera, paloma mía.
Quién lo pudiera besar un día,
quién lo posara sobre tu cama.
Junto a tu boca de fina grana
yo me durmiera, paloma mía.
Si me quisieras, cuánto querría,
paloma rosa de mis mañanas.
Paloma Mia
Silvio Rodriguez's "Paloma Mia" stands as a quintessential example of his mastery within the Nueva Canción movement, blending folkloric instrumentation with poetic social commentary. Recorded in the late 1970s, the track exemplifies his ability to weave indigenous rhythms with political urgency, a hallmark of his work during the height of the Chilean dictatorship. The song reflects Rodriguez's deep connection to his native Colombian heritage while addressing universal themes of resistance and cultural identity. As a staple of his discography, it remains a powerful testament to the genre's capacity to merge traditional sounds with contemporary struggles, influencing generations of Latin American musicians who sought to articulate their realities through music.
