Cucurrucucu Paloma Lyrics
Caetano Veloso
Dicen que por las noches
no ms se le iba en puro llorar;
dicen que no coma,
no ms se le iba en puro tomar.
Juran que el mismo cielo
se estremeca al or su llanto,
cmo sufri por ella,
y hasta en su muerte la fue llamando:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gema,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
de pasin mortal mora.
Que una paloma triste
muy de maana le va a cantar
a la casita sola
con sus puertitas de par en par;
juran que esa paloma
no es otra cosa ms que su alma,
que todava espera
a que regrese la desdichada.
Cucurrucuc paloma, cucurrucuc no llores.
Las piedras jams, paloma,
qu van a saber de amores?
Cucurrucuc, cucurrucuc,
cucurrucuc, cucurrucuc,
cucurrucuc, paloma, ya no le llores
