Introduction
This song is sung in Spanish and comes from Puerto Rico. It is a fun song to sing. Make sure you sing it through a few times before you try to play it because it is important for you to know what a song is supposed to sound like so you know if you’re playing it correctly.
In the words, a person is looking for a dove that has flown away from home. Since the words to a song are usually similar to a poem, we can think of them in the same way. When we look at the words in this song in an artistic way, we can understand that this song is really about missing someone, whether it is a dove, person or anything else.
