Lyrics of San Luis Potosí - Jorge Negrete

San Luis Potosí (original)

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 dío por cantar
Me sentí superior a cualquiera
Y un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
Y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
Me dío tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
Yo no se 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 mi suerte 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 se lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar

(translation)

For the day you came into my life
Dear dove, I started to toast
And when I feel a little taken
thinking of your lips
I gave myself to sing
I felt superior to anyone
And a fist of stars I wanted to bring you down
And seeing that none was enough
It made me so angry that I wanted to cry
I don't know what my life is worth
But I come to deliver it to you
I don't know if your love receives it
But I come to leave it to you
You found me on a black road
Like a pilgrim without direction or faith
And the light of your divine eyes
They traded my luck for joy and pleasure
Since then I feel love you
With all the strength that my soul gives me
Since then Paloma dear
I have changed my chest for a dovecote
I don't know what my life is worth
But I come to deliver it to you
I don't know if your love receives it
But I come to leave it to you
