I would give him a cap,I would give him a sash,I would give him a rosary,I would give him a homespun coat.If he had not made a vow of poverty,I would give him other things as well.La PalomaWhere did the dove that the hawk caught go?    Where is the dove that the hawk caught?At Ramona’s gate, Oh! Look, I found it plucked.All in life is false, death is the only truth.For there is where pomp and variety run out.Why wouldn’t I cry when my mother dies?I wish I could bring her back to life.I’m leaving, Maria, I leave the dove there for you, Open its beak and make it eat, I’m leaving food there.I’m leaving, I say goodbye,though the gaita is good.Beat this drum hard so my sorrow cheers up.Regina Coeli K. 276            Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.For He whom you were worthy to bear, alleluia,has risen, as He said, alleluia.Pray for us to God, alleluia.Tshosholoza              TshosholozaYou are moving fast on those mountains. The train is coming out of South Africa. You are running away on those mountains. The train is coming out of South Africa.Ubi caritas                   Where charity and love are, God is there.The love of Christ has gathered us together.Let us rejoice and be glad in it.Let us revere and love the living God.And from a sincere heart let us love one another. Amen.
