Paloma Querida - Luis Miguel

Thank you!

Paloma Querida - Luis Miguel

Por el dia 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 senti superior a cualquiera
y un pu�o de estrellas te quise bajar
pero al ver que ninguna alcanzaba
me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida
pero yo te la quiero 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 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 a cambiado por un palomar

Yo no se lo que valga mi vida
pero yo te la quiero entregar
yo no se si tu amor la reciba
pero yo te la vengo a dejar.

Beloved dove*

I started toasting my beloved dove
To that day when you entered my life
And when I felt a bit tipsy
And I thought about your lips
I felt like singing

I felt superior than everybody
And I tried to get a handful of stars for you
And when I saw I couldn’t reach them
I felt so angry I wanted to cry
I don’t know how much my life may be worth
But I want to give it to you
I don’t know whether your love will receive it
But I’ve come here to leave it to you

You found me on a dark road
Like a pilgrim without faith nor direction
And the light of your divine eyes
Changed my sorrows
Into happiness and pleasure

Since then I feel I love you
With all the strength my soul has to offer
Since then my beloved dove
My chest turned into a dovecot

I don’t know how much my life may be worth
But I want to give it to you
I don’t know whether your love will receive it
But I’ve come here to leave it to you

*Paloma is also a woman’s name, and it was the name of the wife of the author of this song (José Alfredo Jiménez)
