C. G7 C
Cucú, cucú, cantaba la rana
C. G7 C
Cucú, cucú, debajo del agua
CCucú, cucú, paG7só un cabalClero
CCucú, cucú, con G7capo y somCbrero
CCucú, cucú, paG7só una seCñora
CCucú, cucú, con G7traje de Ccola
CCucú, cucú, paG7só un mariCnero
CCucú, cucú, vendG7iendo roCmero
CCucú, cucú, le pidG7ió un raCmito
CCucú, cucú, no G7le quiso Cdar
CCucú, cucú, y se G7echó a lloCrar
=====
Cucú, cucú, the frog sang like laughter
Cucú, cucú, from under the water
Cucú, cucú, a gentleman passed by
Cucú, cucú, a cape and a hat on
Cucú, cucú, a fine lady passed by
Cucú, cucú, a long dancing dress on
Cucú, cucú, a sailor man passed by
Cucú, cucú, selling rosemary bundles
Cucú, cucú, she said "may I have this?"
Cucú, cucú, the sailor said "no, miss"
Cucú, cucú, so her tears did tumble
*traje de cola = literally means a dress with a train,
but it usually means the traditional old-school
swirly flamenco dresses.
The translation is all mine, and improvements are welcome.
The story of the song is the same; I just tried to match
the cadence of the song for English speakers.
