Lyrics
Dicen que por las noches no más se le iba en puro llorar Dicen que no comía no más se le iba en puro tomar Juran que el mismo cielo se estremecía al oír su llanto cómo sufrió por ella y hasta en su muerte la fue llamando Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba De pasión mortal moría Que una paloma triste muy de mañana le va a cantar a la casita sola con sus puertitas de par en par Juran que esa paloma no es otra cosa más que su alma que todavía espera a que regrese la desdichada Cucurrucucú paloma, cucurrucucú no llores Las piedras jamás, paloma ¿Qué van a saber de amores? Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú Cucurrucucú, paloma, ya no le llores
Harry Belafonte - 1957

They say that at nights all he could do was cry all the time they say he won´t eat all he could do was drink at all times they swear that heaven itself would tremble hearing his crying He suffered so much for her that even on his death he was calling her ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, he cried ay, ay ay ay ay, he sobbed ay ay ay ay ay he sang from a deadly passion, he died That a sad sparrow early in the morning goes to sing at the lonely little house with it´s liitle doors wide open They swear that that sparrow is nothing else than his soul still waiting for her return Cucucrrucucu, sparrow cucucrrucucu, don´t cry stones will never, sparrow know anything about love cucurrucucu, cucurrucucu cucurrucucu, sparrow don´t cry
