Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cucurrucucu Paloma by Gaby Moreno from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
dicen que por las noches nomás se le iba
They say that at night he just left
el puro llorar
the pure cry
dicen que no comía no más se le iba en
They say that he did not eat, he just went away
ahora aunque el mismo cielo se
now although the same sky is
estremecía lo miro su llanto
I shuddered, I looked at his crying
como sufría por ella que hasta en su
how he suffered for her that even in his
muerte la fue llamando
her death was calling her
ay ay ay ay ay
oh oh oh oh oh
quiero una paloma triste muy del mañana
I want a very sad dove of tomorrow
la casita sola con sus puertas de pared
the little house alone with its wall doors
juran que esa paloma no es otra cosa más
they swear that this dove is nothing else
que todavía espera a que regrese la
still waiting for the return
las piedras ganar
the stones win
