Cucurrucucu Paloma

Cucurrucucu Paloma

They say that at nightDicen que por las noches
He would spend it all just cryingNo más se le iba en puro llorar
They say he wouldn't sleepDicen que no dormía
He would spend it all just drinkingNo más se le iba en puro tomar
They swear that the same skyJuran que el mismo cielo
Would tremble upon hearing his crySe estremecía al oír su llanto
How he suffered for herCómo sufrió por ella
That even in his death he kept calling herQue hasta en su muerte la fue llamando

Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)
He sangCantaba
Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)
He moanedGemía

Ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)Ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)
He criedLloraba
Of mortal passionDe pasión mortal
He diedMoría

That a sad doveQué una paloma triste
Very early in the morning will sing to himMuy de mañana le va a cantar
To the little house aloneA la casita sola
With its doors wide openCon sus puertitas de par en par
They swear that this doveJuran que esa paloma
Is nothing more than his soulNo es otra cosa más que su alma
That still waits for herQue todavía la espera
For the unfortunate one to returnA que regrese la desdichada
