Paloma querida [English translation]

For the sake of the day you came to my life

Dear Dove, I started to toast,

and as I felt a bit drunken

thinking oof your lips

I started to sing.

I felt mighter than anyone

and I wanted to bring a handful of stars to you from above ,

but realizing that I could reach no one,

I felt so enraged that I wanted to cry.

I don't know the value of my life,

but I want to give it to you.

I don't know if your love will accept it,

but I come to leave it to you.

You found me in a black path,

like ppligrim with no direction or faith

and the light of your divine eyes

turned my sorrows

into bless and pleasure.

From then I feel I love you

with all the strength my soul provides me,

from then dear dove

my chest became a dovecote.

I don't know the value of my life,

but I want to give it to you.

I don't know if your love will accept it,

but I come to leave it to you.
