Lyrics
No mas se le iba en puro llorar,
Dicen que no dormía
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:
Cucurrucucú, cantaba,
Cucurrucucú, gemía,
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 mas que su alma,
Que todavía la espera
A que regrese la desdichada
Cucurrucucú, cantaba,
Cucurrucucú, no llores
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Qué van a saber de amores
Cucurrucucú, Cucurrucucú,
Cucurrucucú, cucurrú, cucurrú,
Paloma no llores
Lyrics translation
No more crying,
They say he didn't sleep.
No more was he going to take pure;
They swear that the same sky
He shuddered to hear her cry
How he suffered for her,
That even in his death
He called her.:
Cucurucucú, sang,
Cucurucucú, moaned,
Ay, ay, ay, Ay, I was crying,
Of mortal passion he died
What a sad dove
Very morning I was going to sing to her
To the little house alone
With their puertitas wide open;
They swear that pigeon
It is nothing but his soul,
That still awaits her
To the return of the wretched
Cucurucucú, sang,
Cucurucucú, don't cry
The stones never, dove
What will they know about loves
Cucurrucucú, Cucurrucucú,
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo,
Pigeon don't cry
