Palomas Blancas Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Palomas Blancas by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
I ask you that the white doves don't fly away from me
The strength that's in their wings that fly over mountains
That the ground that always trembles support my calves
That the sun of this melody be to brighten my days
And that nothing of ours ever ends
That nothing of ours ever ends
I ask you that the roses and the sighs don't die
That suits and elegance be always a rite of life
That the gold I'm carrying doesn't kill any buzz
That what I'm chasing doesn't switch off a sense in me
And that nothing of ours ever ends
That nothing of ours ever ends
Earth, hug me
Hug me with your light
Listen to my steps walk
My soul breathing in your arms
Earth, hug me
Hug me with your skin
Listen to my body speed up
Running up to the summit to have your love
I ask you that the white doves don't fly away from me
That the fire that's in their breath doesn't leave my faith for a moment
That the ground that always trembles renews a sleeping dream
That whoever keeps on searching awakens a love singing
Earth, hug me
Hug me with your light
Listen to my steps walk
My soul breathing in your arms
Earth, hug me
Hug me with your skin
Listen to my body speed up
Running up to the summit to have your love
That nothing of ours ever ends

In Palomas Blancas, Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade sends a heartfelt wish up to the sky, asking that the symbols of peace, beauty and inspiration never abandon her. White doves, blooming roses and shimmering gold flutter through the lyrics as magical messengers, each one carrying a piece of hope that fuels her creativity. The song feels like an intimate prayer where she pleads for her dreams to keep soaring, her faith to stay lit and her love to remain unbroken.

Midway, Natalia shifts her gaze from the heavens to the ground, calling out Tierra, abrázameEarth, embrace me. This earthy chorus grounds the track in rich Mexican folk tradition, reminding us that strength also rises from the soil beneath our feet. With vibrant imagery of mountains, trembling soil and racing heartbeats, the song paints a vivid landscape in which nature and human spirit dance together. Ultimately, Palomas Blancas celebrates the delicate balance between holding on to what we cherish and trusting the natural world to cradle our aspirations, all wrapped in Natalia’s warm, poetic voice.
