Dicen que por las noches
No más se le iba en puro llorar
Dicen que no dormía
No más se le 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
Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)
Cantaba
Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)
Gemía
Ay, ay, ay, ay (ay, ay, ay, ay)
Lloraba
De pasión mortal
Moría
Qué 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 (cucurrucucu)
Paloma
Cucurrucucu (cucurrucucu)
No llores
Las piedras jamás (las piedras jamás)
Paloma
Qué van a saber
De amores
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurru, cucurru
Paloma
Ya no, ya no le llores
