Paloma Querida

José Alfredo Jimenez

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
Pero al ver que ninguna alcanzaba
Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no sé lo que valga mi vida,
Pero yo, te la vengo a 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 y sin 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.

Dear Pigeon

José Alfredo Jimenez

For the day that you came into my life
Dove dear, I started to toast,
And feeling a little bit taken
Thinking of your lips, I decided to sing
I felt superior to anyone,
And a fist of stars I wanted to bring you down
But seeing that none reached,
It made me so angry that I wanted to cry
I don't know what my life is worth
But I, I come to give it to you,
I don't know if your love receives it
But I, I come to leave it to you,
You found me on a black road
Like a pilgrim without direction and without faith
And the light of your divine eyes,
They exchanged my sorrows for happiness and pleasure
Since then I feel like I love you
With all the strength that the soul gives me
Since then, dear dove,
I've changed my chest 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 receives it
But I, I come to leave it to you.
