El Reloj Cucu

The little cuckoo clock was ringing, dad kissed my forehead
He said goodnight little son... and turned off the light

Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light and stop time

This love song is for my dad
He escaped in the wind, left us alone
This love song is for my mom
Who endured everything, and ate to the bone
That's why mom cried in silence
She cried at night, danced guaguancó in the mornings

Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light and stop time

This love song is for my siblings
Who grew up together, we missed him for years
This shout of love, I give it to the sky
I ask so much so much so much
It doesn't answer anything

Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light, I'm scared
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light and stop time
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light

Hey cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light how I miss him
Hey cuckoo, dad left
Turn on the light

Hey cuckoo, dad left
He left early in the morning
And I haven't seen him again

Hey cuckoo (this lament), dad left
It's for mom, it's for my siblings
We missed him for years

Hey cuckoo, dad left

Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light how I miss him
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
