Cucurrucucu Paloma

Watching the stars that gather

They say she cries 'neath a darkening sky

Watches his lonely passing

No way to touch him, to say goodbye

Watching and never sleeping

Never believing she is alone now

Listen, a bird is singing

But no birds sing in the dead of the night

Ay ay ay ay, she's crying

Empty is the sky without him

Ay ay ay, she cries to no one

Lonely empty sky can't hear her

Dying, she feels she's dying

With every moment a little more

Songs from a bird on the rooftop

Drift like his soul through the open door

Who can she tell what she's feeling?

The stones in the river, how can they know?

Lonely, the house so lonely

The empty bed in the desolate dark

Cucurrucucu Paloma

All day long she hears him calling

Suddenly the world grows older
