Cucurrucucu Paloma

Cucurrucucu Paloma

They say she didn't eatDicen que no comia
Just spent her time cryingNo mas se la iba en puro llorar
They say she didn't sleepDicen que no dormia
Just spent her time drinkingNo mas se la iba en puro tomar

They tell that the sky itselfCuentan que el mismo cielo
Trembled upon hearing her crySe estremecia al oir su llanto
How she cried for herComo lloro por ella
That even in her deathQue hasta en su muerte
He kept calling herLa fue llamando

Ayayayayay she criedAyayayayay lloraba
Ayayayay she laughedAyayayay reia
Ayayayaya she sangAyayayaya cantaba
Of mortal passion she diedDe pasion mortal moria

That a sad doveQue una paloma triste
Very early in the morning would sing to himMuy de mañana le iba a cantar
To his little house aloneA su casita sola
With its doors wide openCon sus puertitas de par en par

They say that doveCuentan que esa paloma
Is nothing more than her soulNo es otra cosa mas que su alma
That still waits for herQue todavia la espera
For the unfortunate one to returnA que regrese la desdichada

Cucurrucucu palomaCucurrucucu paloma
Cucurrucucu don't cryCucurrucucu no llores
The stones never, doveLas piedras jamas paloma
Will know about loveQue van a saber de amores
Cucurrucucu, cucurrucucuCucurrucucu, cucurrucucu
CucucurrucuCucucurrucu
Dove, don't cry anymorePaloma ya no le llores
