Paroles et traduction Joan Baez - Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu Paloma

Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu 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, cantaba
Ay, ay, ay, ay, gemía
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 las 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, paloma
Cucurrucucú, no llores
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Qué van a saber de amores
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, paloma ya no le llores

Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu Paloma

They say that at night
All she did was cry
They say she didn't sleep
She just drank
They swear that the very sky
Shook at the sound of her cries
How she suffered for you
That even in death
She called out your name
Ay, ay, ay, ay, she sang
Ay, ay, ay, ay, she moaned
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, she sang
She was dying of lovesickness
A sad dove
Sings to her every morning
At her empty house
With its doors wide open
They swear that that dove
Is nothing more than her soul
That still waits for her
For the wretched woman to return
Coo-coo, dove
Coo-coo, don't cry
The stones, oh dove
What do they know of love
Coo-coo, coo-coo
Coo-coo, dove, don't cry for him anymore
