They say he didn't eat
He just spent his time crying
They say he didn't sleep
He just spent his time drinking
They swear that the sky itself
Shuddered to hear his crying

How he suffered for her
That even in his death
He was calling her
Ayayayayay he cried
Ayayayayay he laughed
Ayayayayay he sang
He died of a deadly passion

That a sad dove
Very early in the morning would sing to him
At the lonely little house
With its doors wide open
They say that this dove
Is nothing more than his soul
That still waits for her
To return, the unfortunate one

Cucurrucucu dove
Cucurrucucu don't cry
The stones will never understand, dove
What they know about love
Cucurrucucu cucurrucucu
Cucucurrucu, dove don't cry anymore
