Cucurrucucu Paloma

Cucurrucucu Paloma

They say that by nightsDicen que por las noches
She would just cryNomás se le iba en puro llorar
They say he didn't eatDicen que no comía
He was just going on pure takeNomás se le iba en puro tomar
I swear the very sky shuddered hearing her cryJuran que el mismo cielo se estremecía al oír su llanto
How he suffered for herCómo sufrió por ella
That until her death she was callingQue hasta en su muerte la fue llamando

Cu-cu-cu-cuckoo (cu-cu-cu-cuckoo-cuckoo)Cu-cu-rru-cucú (cu-cu-rru-cucú)
SingCantaba
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
MoanGemía
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

SingCantaba
Of mortal passion, I would dieDe pasión mortal, moría
What a sad pigeonQue una paloma triste
Very tomorrow he will singMuy de mañana le va a cantar
The house alone with its pair of doorsA la casita sola con sus puertitas de par en par
I swear that doveJuran que esa paloma
It's nothing but his soulNo es otra cosa más que su alma
That still waits for the unfortunate to returnQue todavía la espera a que regrese la desdichada

Cu-cu-cu-cuckoo (cu-cu-cu-cuckoo-cuckoo)Cu-cu-rru-cucú (cu-cu-rru-cucú)
