Fly, common wood pigeon
Fly, cuckoo-dove
Go seek him at his house
For a reason talk to him about yourself
Fly, common wood pigeon
Fly, cuckoo-dove
Go seek him at his house
Cuckoo-dove1
Open your wings without saying even when
Because he will surely be waiting for you
Tell him that the pain peeps out through my eyes
See him say, dove
Tell him that because of him my jealousy torments me
Bring him this letter without delay
With heaven's blessing
Dove, fly away
