Paroles et traduction María Dolores Pradera - Cu-Cu-Ru-Cu-Cu Paloma

Cu-Cu-Ru-Cu-Cu Paloma

Dicen que no dormía
No más se le iba en puro llorar
Dicen que no comía
No más se le iba en puro tomar
Cuentan que el mismo cielo
Se estremecía al oír su llanto
Como lloró por ella
Que hasta en su muerte la fue llamando

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, cantaba
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, gemía
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, lloraba
De pasión mortal, moría

Que una paloma triste
Muy de mañana le iba 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

Cucurrucucu, paloma
Cucurrucucu, no llores
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Que van a saber, de amores
Cucurrucucu, cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu, Paloma ya no le llores

Coo-Coo-Roo-Coo-Coo Dove

They say she didn't sleep
She just wept and wept
They say she didn't eat
She just drank and drank
They say that heaven itself
Trembled to hear her cry
How she wept for him
That even in her death she called his name

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, she sang
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, she moaned
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, she wept
Of mortal passion, she died

That a sad dove
Would come to sing to her every morning,
At the lonely little 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 one to return

Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove
Coo-coo-roo-coo, don't cry
Stones never, dove
Will know anything of love
Coo-coo-roo-coo, coo-coo-roo-coo
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove no longer cry
