Cucurrucucu
Los Panchos
Lyrics
Translation
Dicen que por las noches no más se le iba en puro tomar.
They say that at night, he only spent his time drinking.
Dicen que no dormia, no más se le iba en puro llorar.
They say he didn't sleep, only spent his time crying.
Juran que el mismo cielo se estremecía al oír su llanto.
They swear that the same sky trembled upon hearing his cry.
Cómo sufrió por ella, que hasta su muerte la fué llamando!
How he suffered for her, calling her until his death!
Cucurrucucu, cantaba
Cucurrucucu, he sang
Cucurrucucu, reia
Cucurrucucu, he laughed
Cucurrucucu, lloraba
Cucurrucucu, he cried
De pasión mortal, moría.
From deadly passion, he died.
Que una paloma triste muy de mañana le va a cantar
That a sad dove early in the morning will sing to him
A la casita sola con las puertitas de par en par
In the little house alone, with the doors wide open
Juran que esa paloma no es outra cosa más que su alma
They swear that this dove is nothing more than his soul
Que él todavia la espera a que regrese, la desdichada
That he still waits for her to return, the unfortunate one
Cucurrucucu, paloma
Cucurrucucu, dove
Cucurrucucu, no llores
Cucurrucucu, don't cry
Las piedras jamás, paloma,
Stones never, dove,
Que van a saber de amores
Will understand about loves
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu

Dove
Ya no le llores
Don't cry for him anymore.
