Cucurrucucú Paloma

Story Behind The Song

From my days living in Mexico many years ago ~ this song has always been one of the most popular when performing... The ranchera/huapango music of Mexico has always touched me in a very special way...

Song Description

This arrangement is different and perhaps simpler that other versions of this song with the beautiful Paraguayan harp intro and throughout the song - perhaps my favourite instrument played so beautifully by Robin Grenon ~ plus a few tasteful guitar lines by my friend Davis Joachim ~

Song Length 3:56 Genre World - South American

Lyrics

CUCURRUCUCU PALOMA

Verse 1
Dicen que por las noches
Nomás el iba en puro llorar
Dicen que no comia
Nomás el iba en puro tomar

Juran que el mismo cielo
Se estremecía al oír su llanto
Cómo sufrió por ella
Que hasta en su muerte la fue llamando

Chorus 1
Ay ay ay ay ay cantaba
Ay ay ay ay ay gemía
Ay ay ay ay ay lloraba
De pasión mortal moría

Verse 2
Que una paloma triste
Muy de mañana le va cantar
A la casita sola
Con las puertitas de par en par

Juran que esa paloma
No es otra cosa más que su alma
Todavía la espera
A que regrese la desdichada

Chorus 2
Cucurrucucú paloma
Cucurrucucú no llores
Las piedras jamás paloma
Que van a saber de amores

Cucurrucucú ~ Cucurrucucú ~ Cucurrucucú
Aye paloma ~ Ya no la llores mas
