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 extremecía al oír su llanto
Cómo sufría por ella
Que 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 la espera
A que regrese la desdichada
Cucurrucucu
Paloma
Cucurrucucu
No llores
Las piedras jamás
Paloma
¿Qué van a saber de amores?
