Por el día 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 sentí superior a cualquiera
Y un puño de estrellas, te quise bajar
Pero al ver que ninguna alcanzaba
Me dio tanta rabia que quise llorar
Yo no sé 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 he cambiado por un Palomar
Yo no se lo que valga mi vida
Pero yo te la quiero a entregar
Yo no se si tu amor la reciba
Pero yo te la vengo a dejar
