| Por el día que llegaste a mi vida
| For the day you came into my life
|
| Paloma querida me puse a brindar
| Dear dove, I started to toast
|
| Y al sentirme un poquito tomado
| And when I feel a little taken
|
| Pensando en tus labios
| thinking of your lips
|
| Me dío por cantar
| I gave myself to sing
|
| Me sentí superior a cualquiera
| I felt superior to anyone
|
| Y un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
| And a fist of stars I wanted to bring you down
|
| Y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
| And seeing that none was enough
|
| Me dío tanta rabia que quise llorar
| It made me so angry that 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 come to deliver it to you
|
| Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
| I don't know if your love receives it
|
| Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
| But I come to leave it to you
|
| Me encontraste en un negro camino
| You found me on a black road
|
| Como un peregrino sin rumbo ni fe
| Like a pilgrim without direction or faith
|
| Y la luz de tus ojos divinos
| And the light of your divine eyes
|
| Cambiaron mi suerte por dicha y placer
| They traded my luck for joy and pleasure
|
| Desde entonces yo siento quererte
| Since then I feel love you
|
| Con todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
| With all the strength that my soul gives me
|
| Desde entonces Paloma querida
| Since then Paloma dear
|
| Mi pecho he cambiado por un palomar
| I have changed my chest for a dovecote
|
| 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 come to deliver it to you
|
| Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
| I don't know if your love receives it
|
| Pero yo te la vengo a dejar | But I come to leave it to you |
