Paloma Querida

Beloved Dove

Paloma Querida

On the day you came into my lifePor el dia 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 lips made me start to singPensando en tus labios me dio por cantar

I felt superior to anyoneMe senti superior a cualquiera
And I wanted to bring you a handful of starsY un puño de estrellas te quize 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 quize llorar

I don't know the worth of my lifeYo no se lo que valga mi vida
But I come to give it to youPero yo te la vengo a 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 that my soul gives meCon todas la fuerzas que el alma me da
Since then, beloved doveDesde entonces paloma querida
My chest has transformed into a dovecoteMi pecho ha cambiado por un palomar

I don't know the worth of my lifeYo no se lo que valga mi vida
But I come to give it to youPero yo te la vengo a 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
