Cucurrucucu paloma

Original words (Spanish)
Cucurrucucú Paloma
Dicen que por las noches
No más se le iba en puro llorar;
Dicen que no comía
No más 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 cantaba
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía
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 espera a que regrese la desdichada
Cucurrucucú paloma, cucurrucucú no llores
Las piedras jamás, paloma
¿qué van a saber de amores?
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, paloma, ya no le llores

Words (English translation by Genève Gil)
Coo... Coo...'' Dove
They say that every night
He was wholly overtaken by tears;
They say he never ate, but only drank
They swear that even the heavens
Trembled to hear his wail
He suffered for her so
That even in death, he never stopped calling for her:
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay," he sang
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay," he howled
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay," he sang
Tormented by a fatal passion. They say that in early morning
A sad dove sings to the little empty house
With its wide open little doors. They swear that the dove
Is none other than his spirit
Hoping still for the return
Of the ill-fated woman "Coo... coo..."
Dove
"Coo... coo..."
Don't weep
What will these stones ever know, little dove
Of love?
"Coo... coo... coo... coo...
Coo... coo... coo...coo...
Coo... coo..."
Little dove, do not weep anymore. ~ Posted by Genève Gil
