Paloma Querida

For the day you came into my life
Beloved dove, I started to toast
And feeling a little tipsy
Thinking of your lips made me start to sing

I felt superior to anyone
And a handful of stars, I wanted to bring down for you
But seeing that none reached
I got so angry that I wanted to cry

I don't know the worth of my life
But I want to give it to you
I don't know if your love will accept it
But I come to leave it for you

You found me on a dark path
Like a pilgrim, aimless and faithless
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, beloved dove
I have exchanged my chest for a dovecote

I don't know the worth of my life
But I want to give it to you
I don't know if your love will accept it
But I come to leave it for you
