Dicen que por las noches
They say that at night
No más se le iba en puro llorar
She just started crying
Dicen que no comía
They say she didn't eat
No más se le iba en puro tomar
He was no longer going to drink
Juran que el mismo cielo
They swear that the sky itself
Se estremecía al oír su llanto
She shook when she heard his cry
Cómo sufrió por ella
How he suffered for her
Y hasta en su muerte la fue llamando
And even in her death he called her
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh she sang
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he moaned
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh she sang
De pasión mortal moría
She died of mortal passion
Que una paloma triste
What a sad dove
Muy de mañana le va a cantar
Very early in the morning she is going to sing to him
A la casita sola
To the little house alone
Con sus puertitas de par en par
With its little doors wide open
Juran que esa paloma
They swear that that dove
No es otra cosa más que su alma
It is nothing more than your soul
Que todavía espera
That she still waits
A que regrese la desdichada
For the unfortunate woman to return
Cucurrucucú paloma, cucurrucucú no llores
Cucurrucucú dove, cucurrucucú don't cry
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Stones never, dove
¿Qué van a saber de amores
What will they know about love?
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú
Cucurrucucú, paloma, ya no le llores
Cucurrucucú, dove, don't cry anymore
