Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu Paloma

(album: An Evening With Belafonte - 1957)

Softly the night wind singing
Tells me it's bringing my love to me
With every breath it's sending
Love never ending across the sea
My heart and I are trying
To keep from crying
But we are lonely
Fly little bird go winging
And please lead him home safely to me

Cucurrucucu Paloma
Cucurrucucu no llores
Las piedras jamas paloma
Que van a saber de amores

What good is my tomorrow
When filled with sorrow just like today
I need him here to hold me
Here to enfold me, always to stay
So little bird please find him
And then remind him I am so lonely
Fly little bird, go winging
And please lead him home safely to me

Cucurrucucu Paloma
Cucurrucucu no llores
Las piedras jamas paloma
Que van a saber de amores

Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Cucurrucucu
Paloma ya no lo llores
