Colombe is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.
Colombe is a play in four acts by French dramatist Jean Anouilh, written in 1950, created at the Théâtre de l'Atelier on February 10, 1951 in a mise-en-scène, set and costumes by André Barsacq and published in 1951 at Éditions de la Table ronde in Pièces brillantes.
A large self-centred actress lacking maternal fibre must face the return of her son Julien, who is intransigent and jealous of his brother Armand who his mother always babied. He refused any special favours in order to escape his three years of military service that awaited him, so he leaves his young, naïve and submissive wife Colombe. The mother decides to hire Colombe at the theatre. The woman would jump with joy, happy at becoming her own woman, and would break up with Julien.

Une colombe est partie en voyage
Autour du monde elle porte son message
De paix, d'amour et d'amiti¨¦
De paix, d'amour ¨¤ partager
Et c'est sa jeunesse qui la fait voler
(A dove went for a trip
Around the world it carries its message
Of peace of love and of friendship
Of peace of love to share
And it's its youth that makes it fly)
Une colombe est partie en voyage
Pour faire chanter partout sur son passage
La paix, l'amour et l'amiti¨¦
La paix, l'amour, la v¨¦rit¨¦
Quand elle ouvre ses ailes
C'est pour la libert¨¦
(A dove went for a trip
To make sing everywhere along its path
The peace the love and the friendship
The peace the love the truth
When it opens its wings
It's for liberty)
Elle vole
Elle cherche le soleil
Elle r¨ºve de merveilles
Elle esp¨¨re arriver
Elle croit
Qu'il y a quelque part
Un pays pour l'espoir
Et qu'elle pourra le voir
(It flies
It looks for sun
It dreams of wonders
It hopes to arrive
It believes
That there's somewhere
A country for hope
And that it will be able to see it)
