  • When the sun shines on the mountains
    And the night is on the run
    It's a new day, it's a new way
    And I fly up to the sun

    I can feel the morning sunlight
    I can smell the new-born hay
    I can hear God's voices calling
    From my golden sky-light way

    Una paloma blanca
    I'm just a bird in the sky
    Una paloma blanca
    Over the mountain I fly
    No one can take my freedom away

    Once I had my share of losing
    Once they locked me on a chain
    Yes, they tried to break my power
    Oh, I still can feel the pain

    Una paloma blanca
    I'm just a bird in the sky
    Una paloma blanca
    Over the mountain I fly
    No one can take my freedom away Writer/s: HANS BOUWENS, Johannes Bouwens

  • Mike from Santa Barbara, CaThis is one of the most endearing songs of the mid-1970's. Helping are the excellent vocals of Nelleke Brzoskowsky, who joined the group shortly before this single was released.
