Lyrics
Dicen que por las noches
Nomas se le iba en puro llorar,
Dicen que no comia
Nomas se le iba en puro tomar,
Juran que el mismo cielo
Se estremecia al oir su llanto
Como sufrio por ella,
Que hasta en su muerte la fue llamando.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Cantaba,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Gemia,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Cantaba,
De pasion mortal,
Moria.
Que una paloma triste
Muy de manana le va 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 todavia la espera
A que regrese la desdichada.
Cucurrucucu
Paloma,
Cucurrucucu
No llores,
Las piedras jamas,
Paloma
Ique van a saber
De amores !
Cucurrucucu…
Cucurrucucu…
Cucurrucucu…
Paloma, ya no llores
Lyrics translation
They say that at night
Nomas was just going to cry,
They say he didn't eat.
He was just going to take it,
They swear that the same sky
He shuddered to hear her cry
How he suffered for her,
That even at his death he was calling her.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sing,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Moan,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,
Sing,
Of Deadly Passion,
Die.
What a sad dove
Very early in the morning he will sing
To the little house alone,
With their puertitas wide open,
They swear that pigeon
It is nothing but his soul,
That still awaits her
Let the wretched return.
Cucurrucucu
Pigeon,
Cucurrucucu
Don't cry,
The stones never,
Pigeon
What will they know
Love !
Cucurrucucu…
Cucurrucucu…
Cucurrucucu…
Pigeon, stop crying
