Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paloma Querida by Alejandro Fernández from Spanish to English.
Por el día que llegaste a mi vida
For the day you came into my life
Paloma querida me puse a brindar
Dear Paloma, I started to toast
y al sentirme un poquito tomado
and when I feel a little taken
pensando en tus labios
thinking about your lips
me dío por cantarme sentí superior a cualquiera
I started singing, I felt superior to anyone
y un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
and a fist of stars I wanted to take you down
y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
and seeing that none of them reached
me dío tanta rabia que quize llorar
It made me so angry that I wanted to cry
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida pero yo te la vengo a entregar
I don't know what my life is worth but I'm coming to give 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'm going to leave it to you
Me encontraste en un negro camino
You found me on a black road
como un peregrino sin runbo 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 changed my luck for happiness and pleasure
desde entonces yo siento quererte
since then I feel like I 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 dear Paloma
mi pecho he cambiado por un palomar
I have changed my chest for a dovecote
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida pero yo te la vengo a entregar
I don't know what my life is worth but I'm coming to give 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'm going to leave it to you
