Lyrics - Spanish
(Traditional chant from Panama)
Era una paloma punto y coma,
Que se fue del nido punto y seguido
Que se fue a Marte punto y aparte
Pobre animal punto final,
English Translation - It was a dove semicolon
It was a dove semicolon,
Which left the nest, period (followed by sentence which continues the same subject),
Which went to Mars, period (followed by new paragraph)
Poor animal, period at the end.
