"La Paloma" is a popular song, having been produced and reinterpreted in diverse cultures, settings, arrangements, and recordings over the last 140 years. The song was composed and written by Spanish composer Sebastián Iradier (later Yradier) after he visited Cuba in 1861. Iradier may have composed "La Paloma" around 1863, just two years before he died in Spain in obscurity, never to learn how popular his song would become.
.
The influence of the local Cuban habanera gives the song its characteristic and distinctive rhythm. Very quickly "La Paloma" became popular in Mexico, and soon spread around the world. In many places, including Afghanistan,Mexico, Spain, Hawaii, the Philippines, Germany, Romania, Zanzibar, and Goa (the Indian state was occupied by the Portuguese till 1961) it gained the status of a quasi-folk song. Over the years the popularity of "La Paloma" has surged and receded periodically, but never subsided. It may be considered one of the first universal popular hits and has appealed to artists of diverse musical backgrounds.

The motif
The motif of "Valgame Dios, Gonzalo es La Paloma" (the dove) can be traced back to an episode that occurred in 492 BC preliminary to Darius' invasion of Greece, a time when the white dove had not yet been seen in Europe.[1] The Persian fleet under Mardonius was caught in a storm off the shore of Mount Athos and being wrecked when the Greeks observed white doves escaping from the sinking Persian ships. This inspired the notion that such birds bring home a final message of love from a sailor who is lost at sea. This theme that a final link of love overcomes death and separation is reflected in "La Paloma". While the lyrics may not always be true to the original, the soul of the song seems to survive all attempts to recast it in whatever new form and shape there may be and is able to express the tension between separation with loneliness, even death, and love.
History
"La Paloma" became quickly popular in Mexico. It was a favorite of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, and at the same time the Mexican revolutionaries played and popularized it well. Legend has it, popularized by the movie Juarez, that as a last wish Maximilian requested it to be played at his execution.[citation needed] As Emperor Maximilian was a Habsburg, ships of the Austrian Navy would never play the song.[citation needed] First translations appeared already in 1865 in France and Germany.[citation needed] In 1899, the playing of "La Paloma" by the French Garde Républicaine was one of the first recordings that were made.[citation needed] With the introduction of the Hawaiian guitar the popularity of "La Paloma" spread further.[citation needed] Diverse lyrics have been created in many languages. In English, its "No More" version was made popular by Dean Martin and Elvis Presley.[citation needed] La Paloma has been interpreted by musicians of diverse backgrounds including opera, pop, jazz, rock, military bands, and folk music. The song entered the Guinness Book of World Records being sung by the largest choir, 88,600 people, in Hamburg on May 9, 2004.[2]

La Paloma lyrics
.
Una canción me recuerda
Aquel ayer
Cuando se marchó en silencio
Un atardecer
Se fue con su canto triste a
Otro lugar
Dejó como compañera
Mi soledad
Una paloma blanca me canta
Al alba
Viejas melancolias, cosas
Del alma
Llegan con el silencio de
La mañana
Y cuando salgo a verla, vuela
A su casa
Donde va que mi voz
Ya no quiere escuchar
Donde va que mi vida
Se apaga
Si junto a mi no esta
Si quisiera volver
Yo la iria a esperar
Cada dia cada madrugada
Para quererla más

La Paloma lyrics
(Dean Martin).
When I left Havana nobody saw me go
But my little gaucho maid who loves me so
She came down the pathway following after me
That same little gaucho maid that I longed to see
If at your window you see a gentle dove
Treat it with care and welcome it there with love
It may be so I do not deny its glee
Crown it with flowers grant love its hours for me
.
Oh my darling be mine
Won't you say that you love me
All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine
Ah my darling be mine
Won't you say that you love me
Oh my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine
.
Oh my darling be mine
Won't you say that you love me
All my passions so tender oh please surrender your love divine
