Paloma Querida
Por el día que llegaste a mi vida
Paloma querida, me puse a brindar
Y al sentirme un poquito tomado
Pensando en tus labios me dio por cantar
Me sentí superior a cualquiera
Y un puño de estrellas, te quise bajar
Pero al ver que ninguna alcanzaba
Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no sé lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la quiero entregar
Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
Me encontraste en un negro camino
Como un peregrino, sin rumbo y sin fe
Y la luz de tus ojos divinos,
cambiaron mis penas por dicha y placer
Desde entonces yo siento quererte
Con todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
Desde entonces Paloma querida
Mi pecho he cambiado por un Palomar
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la quiero a entregar
Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
Beloved Dove
For the day you came into my life
Beloved dove, I started to toast
And feeling a little tipsy
Thinking of your lips made me start to sing
I felt superior to anyone
And a handful of stars, I wanted to bring down for you
But seeing that none reached
I got so angry that I wanted to cry
I don't know the worth of my life
But I want to give it to you
I don't know if your love will accept it
But I come to leave it for you
You found me on a dark path
Like a pilgrim, aimless and faithless
And the light of your divine eyes
Changed my sorrows for joy and pleasure
Since then I feel like loving you
With all the strength my soul gives me
Since then, beloved dove
I have exchanged my chest for a dovecote
I don't know the worth of my life
But I want to give it to you
I don't know if your love will accept it
But I come to leave it for you
