Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nomás se le iba en puro llorar
Dicen que no comía
Nomás se le iba en puro tomar
Juran que el mismo cielo
Se estremecía al oír su llanto
Como sufrió por ella
Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), cantaba
Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), gemía
Ay ay ay ay ay (ay ay ay ay ay), lloraba
De pasión mortal (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 la espera
A que regrese la desdichada
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), paloma
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), no llores
Las piedras jamás (las piedras jamás), paloma
Que van a saber, de amores
Cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú), cucurrucucú (cucurrucucú)
Cucurrucucú
Paloma
Ya no le llores
