Lyrics and translation Lola Beltrán - Cucurrucucu Paloma

Cucurrucucu Paloma

Dicen que por las noches
Nomás se le iba en puro llorar
Dicen que no dormía
Nomás se le iba en puro tomar

Juran que el mismo cielo
Se estremecía al oír su llanto
¡Cómo sufrió por ella!
Que hasta en su muerte
La fue llamando

Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), lloraba
Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), la mía
Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), cantaba
De pasión mortal, moría

Que una paloma triste
Muy de mañana, le va a cantar
A la casita sola
Con sus puertitas de par en par

Juran que esa paloma
No es otra cosa, más que su alma
Que todavía la espera
A que regrese la desdichada

Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), paloma
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), no llores
Las piedras jamás, paloma
¿Qué van a saber? (¿Qué van a saber?)
De amores

Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú)
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú)
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú)
Paloma, no llores

Cucurrucucu Paloma

They say that at night
She would only cry
They say she didn't sleep
She would only drink

They swear that heaven itself
Would shake when it heard her cry
How she suffered for her!
That even in her death
She was calling for her

Oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh), she cried
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh), my love
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh oh oh oh oh), she sang
She died of a fatal passion

That a sad dove
Will sing to her very early in the morning
To the lonely little house
With its doors wide open

They swear that that dove
Is nothing else but her soul
That still waits for her
For the unfortunate one to return

Coo-coo (coo-coo), dove
Coo-coo (coo-coo), don't cry
The stones never, dove
What will they know? (What will they know?)
Of love

Coo-coo (coo-coo)
Coo-coo (coo-coo)
Coo-coo (coo-coo)
Dove, don't cry
