Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paloma Querida by Vicente 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
Darling babe, I raised a toast
Y al sentirme un poquito tomado
And when I felt a bit tipsy
Pensando en tus labios
Thinking about your lips
Me dio por cantar
I felt like singing
Me sentí superior a cualquiera
I felt above everyone
Y un puño de estrellas te quise bajar
And I wanted to pull down a fistful of stars for you
Y al mirar que ninguna alcanzaba
And when I saw I couldn't reach any
Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Rage hit me so hard I wanted to cry
Yo no sé lo que valga mi vida
I don't know what my life's worth
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
But I'm here to hand it to you
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
I don't know if your love will take it
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
But I'm here to leave it with you
Me encontraste en un negro camino
You found me on a dark road
Como un peregrino sin rumbo ni fe
Like a pilgrim with no path or faith
Y la luz de tus ojos divinos
And the light of your divine eyes
Cambiaron mis penas por dicha y placer
Swapped my sorrows for joy and pleasure
Desde entonces yo siento quererte
Since then I've felt I love you
Con todas las fuerzas que el alma me da
With all the strength my soul gives me
Desde entonces paloma querida
Since then, darling babe
Mi pecho he cambiado por un palomar
I've turned my chest into a dovecote
Yo no sé lo que valga mi vida
I don't know what my life's worth
Pero yo te la vengo a entregar
But I'm here to hand it to you
Yo no sé si tu amor la reciba
I don't know if your love will take it
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
But I'm here to leave it with you
