Translation
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove
They say that at night
he didn’t do anything apart from crying.
They say he didn’t eat,
he didn’t do anything apart from drinking.
They say that even the heavens
trembled when his cry was heard.
How he suffered for her!
Even when he was dying he was calling her:
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he was singing,
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he was moaning,
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay", he was singing,
of the mortal torments he was dying.
And a sad dove
early in the morning comes
to an empty house
with wide opened little doors to sing.
They swear that dove
is just his soul
which, as he is still hoping for,
will come back, poor wretch.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove
coo-coo-roo-coo, don’t cry.
The stones, dove,
they will never understand what love is.
Coo-coo-roo-coo, coo-coo-roo-coo,
coo-coo-roo-coo, dove,
don’t cry after her anymore.

Author's comments:
“Cucurrucucú, paloma” is an onomatopeic reference to the characteristic call of the dove, which is evoked in the refrain. In English it would be: “Coo-coo-roo-coo, dove” - as I wrote.
