Paloma Querida

Por el día que llegaste a mi vida,

For the day you came into my life,

Paloma querida, me puse a brindar,

Beloved dove, I started to toast,

Y al sentirme un poquito tomado,

And feeling a little bit tipsy,

Pensando en tus labios, me dio por cantar.

Thinking about your lips, I felt like singing.

Me sentí superior a cualquiera,

I felt superior to anyone,

Y un puño de estrellas, te quise bajar,

And a handful of stars, I wanted to bring down for you,

Y al mirar, que ninguna alcanzaba,

And looking at them, realizing none reached,

Me dio tanta rabia, que quise llorar.

It made me so angry, I wanted to cry.

Yo no se, lo que valga mi vida,

I don't know what my life is worth,

Pero yo te la vengo a entregar,

But I've come to offer it to you,

Yo no se, si tu amor la reciba,

I don't know if your love will accept it,

Pero yo te la vengo a entregar.

But I've come to offer it to you.
