Текст и перевод песни Jorge Negrete - 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 dió 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

The day you came into my life,
My beloved dove, I toasted your arrival,
And feeling a bit tipsy,
I began to sing, thinking of your lips.

I felt superior to everyone,
And I wanted to snatch a handful of stars for you,
But when I saw that none could compare,
I was so angry 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 give it to you anyway.

You found me on a dark path,
Like a pilgrim, without direction or faith.
And the light in your divine eyes,
Changed my pain to joy and pleasure.

Since then, I feel I love you,
With all the strength that my soul gives me.
Since then, beloved dove,
I have traded my heart for 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 give it to you anyway.
