Paloma Querida

Dear Dove

Paloma Querida

The day you came into my lifePor el día que llegaste a mi vida
Dear dove, I raised a glassPaloma querida, me puse a brindar
And feeling a little tipsyY al sentirme un poquito tomado
Thinking of your lipsPensando en tus labios
I just had to singMe dio por cantar

I felt better than anyoneMe sentí superior a cualquiera
And I wanted to pull down a handful of starsY un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
But when I saw none were within reachY al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
I got so mad I wanted to cryMe dio tanta rabia que quise llorar

I don’t know what my life is worthYo no sé lo que valga mi vida
But I want to give it to youPero yo te la quiero a entregar
I don’t know if your love will accept itYo no sé si tu amor la reciba
But I’m here to leave it with youPero yo te la vengo a dejar

You found me on a dark roadMe encontraste en un negro camino
Like a wanderer with no direction or faithComo un peregrino sin rumbo ni fe
And the light in your divine eyesY la luz de tus ojos divinos
Turned my sorrows into joy and pleasureCambiaron mis penas por dicha y placer

Since then I feel I love youDesde entonces yo siento quererte
With all the strength my soul can giveCon todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
Since then, dear doveDesde entonces paloma querida
I’ve traded my heart for a dove coteMi pecho he cambiado por un palomar

I don’t know what my life is worthYo no sé lo que valga mi vida
But I want to give it to youPero yo te la quiero a entregar
I don’t know if your love will accept itYo no sé si tu amor la reciba
But I’m here to leave it with youPero yo te la vengo a dejar
