Lyrics with English translation:

Dicen que por las noches [They say that at the night]
no más se le iba en puro llorar; [he did nothing but cry]
dicen que no comía, [They say that he wouldn't eat]
no más se le iba en puro tomar [he wouldn't do anything but drink]
Juran que el mismo cielo [They swear that the sky]
se estremecía al oír su llanto, [trembled hearing his wail]
cómo sufrió por ella, [He suffered over her]
y hasta en su muerte la fue llamando [that even in his death he cried]

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba ["Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he cried]
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía, ["Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he moaned]
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba ["Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he cried]
de pasión mortal moría [of a deadly passion, he died]

Que una paloma triste [They say that a sad dove]
muy de mañana le va a cantar [every morning goes to sing]
a la casita sola [at the sad little house]
con sus puertitas de par en par [with all its doors wide open]
juran que esa paloma [They swear that this dove]
no es otra cosa más que su alma [is nothing but his soul]
que todavía espera [that is still waiting]
A que regrese la desdichada [for his sad woman to return]

Cucurrucucú* paloma ["Cucurrucucú ", dove]
cucurrucucú no llores ["Cucurrucucú", do not cry]
Las piedras jamás, paloma [These cruel stones, little dove,]
qué van a saber de amores? [what they ever knew about love?]

* Cucurrucucú refers to the sound a dove makes
