Cucurrucucu

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
