Paloma Querida

Beloved Dove

Paloma Querida

For the day you came into my lifePor el día en que llegaste a mi vida
Beloved dove, I started to toastPaloma querida, me puse a brindar
And feeling a little tipsyY al sentirme un poquito tomado
Thinking about your lipsPensando en tus labios
I felt like singingMe dió por cantar

I felt superior to anyoneMe sentí superior a cualquiera
And I wanted to bring you a handful of starsY un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
And seeing that none reached youY al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
I got so angry that I wanted to cryMe dio tanta rabia que quise llorar

I don't know the worth of my lifeYo no sé lo que valga mi vida
But I want to give it to youPero yo te la quiero entregar
I don't know if your love will accept itYo no sé si tu amor la reciba
But I come to leave it for youPero yo te la vengo a dejar

You found me on a dark pathMe encontraste en un negro camino
Like a pilgrim without direction or faithComo un peregrino sin rumbo, ni fé
And the light of your divine eyesY la luz de tus ojos divinos
Changed my sorrows into joy and pleasureCambiaron mis penas por dicha y placer

Since then I feelDesde entonces yo siento
Loving you with all the strengthQuererte con todas las fuerzas
That my soul gives meQue el alma me da
Since then, beloved doveDesde entonces paloma querida
I have exchanged my chest for a dovecoteMi pecho he cambiado por un palomar

I don't know the worth of my lifeYo no sé lo que valga mi vida
But I want to give it to youPero yo te la quiero entregar
I don't know if your love will accept itYo no sé si tu amor la reciba
But I come to leave it for youPero yo te la vengo a dejar
