Lyrics and translation Franco Battiato - Cuccurucucù - Spanish Version

Cuccurucucù - Spanish Version

Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay, ayayayay, cantaba.
Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay, ayayayay, cantaba.
Las serenatas en el salòn del instituto
A la hora de gimnasia o de religiòn.
Por carnavales tocaba en medio de las màscaras
Tenìa ya la Luna y Urano en el leòn.
El mar en un bolsillo, burbujas al trasluz.
En cuanto te marchaste lejos me faltò la luz.
El mundo es gris, es gris y azul.
Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay ayayayay, cantaba.
Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay ayayayay, cantaba.
La ira funesta del pròfugo afgano,
De los que la frontera con Iràn cruzaron,
Càntame oh, diva, sobre el piel roja americano,
La gesta eròtica de la India piel de luna
La pluma estilogràfica con la tinta azul
No quiero afeitadora eléctrica, no es necesario
El mundo es gris, es gris y azul.
Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay, ayayayay, cantaba.
Cuccurrucucu, paloma. Ay, ayayayay, cantaba.

Cuccurucucù - Spanish Version

Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
The serenades were in the high school assembly hall
During PE or religion class.
At carnival time I'd play among the masquerade
With the Moon and Uranus already in Leo.
The sea in my pocket, translucent bubbles.
As soon as you went far away, I lost my light.
The world is grey, grey and blue.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
The fatal wrath of the Afghan refugee,
Of those who crossed the border from Iran,
Sing to me, oh diva, about the American Indian,
The erotic exploits of the Indian moon-skinned,
The fountain pen with its blue ink
I don't want an electric shaver, it isn't necessary
The world is grey, grey and blue.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove. Ay, ayayayay, I sang.
