Paroles et traduction Vicente Fernández - Paloma Querida

Paloma Querida

Por 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 quiero entregar
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar

Me encontraste en un negro camino
Como un peregrino sin rumbo ni fe
Y la luz de tus ojos divinos
Cambiaron mis penas 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 quiero entregar
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar

Beloved Dove

On the day you came into my life,
My beloved dove, I started to celebrate.
And feeling a little tipsy,
Thinking of your lips, I felt like singing.

I felt superior to everyone else,
And I wanted to pull down a fistful of stars for you.
And seeing that I couldn't reach any,
I felt so much rage that I wanted to cry.

I don't know what my life is worth,
But I want to give it to you.
I don't know if your love will accept it,
But I've come here to give it to you.

You found me on a dark road,
Like a pilgrim without direction or faith.
And the light of your divine eyes,
Changed my sorrows for joy and pleasure.

Since then, I feel like loving you,
With all the strength my soul gives me.
Since then, my beloved dove,
I've changed my chest into a dovecote.

I don't know what my life is worth,
But I want to give it to you.
I don't know if your love will accept it,
But I've come here to give it to you.
