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 I wanted to bring you a handful of stars
But seeing that none reached you
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 without direction or faith
And the light of your divine eyes
Changed my sorrows into 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
