Paloma Querida

Beloved Dove

Paloma Querida

For the day you came into my lifePor el día 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 of your lips made me start to singPensando en tus labios me dio 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
But seeing that none reached youPero al ver 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 se 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 se 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 y sin fe
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 feel like loving youDesde entonces yo siento quererte
With all the strength my soul gives meCon todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
Since then, beloved dove,Desde 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 se 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 se si tu amor la reciba
But I come to leave it for youPero yo te la vengo a dejar
