Cucurrucucu

They say that at night he only spent his time drinking.Dicen que por las noches no más se le iba en puro tomar.
They say he didn't sleep, he only spent his time crying.Dicen que no dormia, no más se le iba en puro llorar.
They swear that the sky itself trembled upon hearing his cry.Juran que el mismo cielo se estremecía al oír su llanto.
How he suffered for her, that even until his death he called her!Cómo sufrió por ella, que hasta su muerte la fué llamando!

Cucurrucucu, he sangCucurrucucu, cantaba
Cucurrucucu, he laughedCucurrucucu, reia
Cucurrucucu, he criedCucurrucucu, lloraba
Of mortal passion, he died.De pasión mortal, moría.

That a sad dove very early in the morning will sing to himQue una paloma triste muy de mañana le va a cantar
To the little house all alone with the doors wide openA la casita sola con las puertitas de par en par
They swear that this dove is nothing more than his soulJuran que esa paloma no es outra cosa más que su alma
That he still waits for her to return, the unfortunate oneQue él todavia la espera a que regrese, la desdichada

Cucurrucucu, doveCucurrucucu, paloma
Cucurrucucu, don't cryCucurrucucu, no llores
The stones will never, dove,Las piedras jamás, paloma,
Understand about loveQue van a saber de amores
