Paloma
Pedro Infante Lyrics

Por el día que llegaste a mi vida
On the day you entered my life,

Paloma querida me puse a brindar
I raised a toast to my beloved dove,

Y al sentirme un poquito tomado
And while feeling a bit tipsy,

Pensando en tus labios
Thinking of your lips,

Me dio por cantar
I felt the urge to sing.

Me sentí superior a cualquiera
I felt superior to everyone else,

Y un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
And I wanted to bring down a handful of stars for you,

Y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
But when I saw that I couldn't reach any of them,

Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
I felt 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 give it to you,

Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
I don't know if your love will accept it,

Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
But I come to leave it with you.

Me encontraste en un negro camino
You found me on a dark path,

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
Changed my luck to joy and pleasure.

Desde entonces yo siento quererte
Since then, I feel love for you,

Con todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
With all the strength my soul can give,

Desde entonces Paloma querida
Since then, my beloved dove,

Mi pecho he cambiado por un palomar
I've transformed my chest into a dovecote.
