Paroles et traduction Leonel Garcia - Paloma Querida

Paloma Querida

En 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
Y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no sé lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
Me encontraste en un negro camino
Como a un peregrino, sin rumbo sin fe
Y la luz de tus ojos divinos cambiaron mi suerte
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 sé lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar

My Dearest Dove

The day you entered my life, my love
My dearest dove, I raised a glass
And in the spirit of the moment
I thought of your lips and softly sang
I felt superior to all others
And wished to bring you down a handful of stars
But when I saw that none could reach you
Such anger filled me, I wanted to cry
I don't know the worth of my life
But I lay it at your feet
I don't know if your love will receive it
But I offer it to you
You found me on a dark path
A lost soul, without direction or faith
And the light in your divine eyes changed my fate
To joy and happiness
Since then, I have loved you
With all the strength my soul can muster
Since then, my dearest dove
My heart has become a dovecote for you
I don't know the worth of my life
But I lay it at your feet
I don't know if your love will receive it
But I offer it to you
