Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cucurrucucu Paloma by Miguel Aceves Mejia from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dicen que por las noches
They say that at night
No mas se le iba en puro llorar
No more she left in pure tears
Dicen que no comía
They say she didn't eat
No mas se le iba en puro tomar
No more was he 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
Que hasta en la muerte la fué llamando
That even in death I was calling her
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, cantaba
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, she sang
Ay, ay, ay, ay, gemía
Oh, oh, oh, oh, he moaned.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, lloraba
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I cried
De pasión mortal moría que una paloma triste
Of mortal passion she died like 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 las puertitas de par en par
With the doors wide open
Juran que esa paloma
They swear that that dove
No es otra cosa mas que su alma
It is nothing more than your soul
Que todavía la espera
That she is still waiting for her
A que regrese la desdichada
For the unfortunate woman to return
Cucurrucucu, paloma cucurrucucu, no llores
Cucurrucucu, cucurrucucu dove, don't cry
Las piedras jamás, paloma
Stones never, dove
Qué van a saber de amores
What will they know about love?
Cucurrucucu, cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu, cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu, paloma ya no le llores
Cucurrucucu, dove, don't cry anymore
