Alegres eran mis ojos
Pero se quedaron tristes
Cuando menos lo pensaba
De mi lado tú te fuiste
Cultivaba una esperanza
Pero no correspondiste
Ay ay ay ay
Pero no correspondiste
Ay ay ay ay
De mi lado tú te fuiste
Arriba de una montaña
Fui a preguntarle a los vientos
Por mi palomito ingrato
Que voló cielos adentro
Ni lágrima ni suspiro
Me aconsejaron los truenos
Ay ay ay ay
Me aconsejaron los truenos
Ay ay ay ay
Que voló cielos adentro
Olvidar es una flor
No florece pa' cualquiera
Florecerá para ti
Palomita mensajera
Tómala de la corola
Y goza tu vida entera
Ay ay ay ay
Y goza tu vida entera
Ay ay ay ay
Palomita mensajera
Ingrato mal pagador
Tronco de todas sus ramas
Ramas de todas sus flores
Se casa en una mañana
Si lo hubiera presentido
Yo no te entregara el alma
Ay ay ay ay
Yo no te entregara el alma
Ay ay ay ay
Se casa en una mañana
Ay ay ay ay
Yo no te entregara el alma
Ay ay ay ay
Se casa en una mañana
Ay ay ay ay
Yo no te entregara el alma
Ay ay ay ay
Se casa en una mañana
