Paroles et traduction Estela Nuñez - Cucurrucucú Paloma

Cucurrucucú Paloma

Dicen que por las noches
No mas se le iba en puro llorar,
Dicen que no comía
No mas 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 fué llamando:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, lloraba,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, gemía,
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 mas que su alma,
Que todavía la espera
A que regrese la desdichada.
Cucurrucucú, paloma,
Cucurrucucú, no llores.
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Qué van a saber de amores.
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú,
Cucurrucucú, paloma no llores.

Cucurrucucú Paloma

They say that by night
She'd do nothing more than cry
They say she wouldn't eat
She'd only drink
They swear that the heavens themselves
Trembled to hear her lament
How she suffered for him,
Even in her death
She cried out for him:
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, she wept,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, she moaned,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, she sang
She died of a mortal passion.
That a sorrowful dove
Sings to her every morning
At the lonely little house
With its wide open doors;
They swear that this dove
Is nothing more than her soul,
Which is still waiting for her
To return, the unfortunate creature.
Cucurrucucú, dove,
Cucurrucucú, don't cry.
Stones, dear dove
Will never understand love.
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú,
Cucurrucucú, dear dove don't cry.
