Cucurrucucú Paloma
They say that at night
All he did was cry
They say he didn’t sleep
All he did was drink
They swear that even the sky
Trembled when it heard his weeping
How he suffered for her
That even in death he kept calling her name
Chorus
“Cucurrucucú” (cucurrucucú), he sang
“Cococococo” (cacacacaca), he laughed
“Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay” (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay), he cried
Of deadly passion, he was dying
Verse 2
That a sad dove, very early in the morning, would come sing to him
At the lonely little house with its doors wide open
They swear that this dove
Is nothing more than his soul
Still waiting for her
For the unfortunate woman to return
Chorus
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), dove
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), don’t cry
Stones will never, (stones will never), little dove
Ever understand love
Outro
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucucú
Little dove, don’t cry anymore (cucurrucucú)
