Dla tej jednej piosenki kupiłam kilka lat temu płytę Caetano Veloso. Wzruszała mnie i wprawiała w nastrój zadumy. Teraz ta piosenka jest o mnie.
Poniżej podaję angielskie tłumaczenie, a tu jest adres, gdzie można jej posłuchać

They say that at night he didn’t do anything but cry.
They say that he didn’t eat and didn’t do anything but drink.
They swear that heaven shuddered when it heard his cry,
How he suffered for her, calling out to her even as he died.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, he sang.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, he wept.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, he sang.
As he died of mortal passion.
That a sad dove came that morning to sing to him,
To the small house with its windows open wide.
They swear that the dove is nothing less than his soul,
That is still waiting for her to come back, her, the unfortunate.
Cucurrucucú, dove,
Cucurrucucú, don’t cry.
The stones never do, dove,
What do they know of love?
Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú,
Cucurrucucú, you don’t cry any more
