El Reloj Cucú Lyrics English Translation by Maná
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light
The little cuckoo clock was chiming
Daddy kissed my forehead
Said, “Goodnight, my little one”
And turned off the light
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light, I’m scared
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light and stop the time
This love song
Is for my dad
He slipped into the wind
Left us all alone
This love song
Is for my mom
Who bore it all
It hurt her to the bone
That’s why Mama
Cried in silence
Cried through the nights
And how she held on every morning
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light, I’m scared
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light and stop the time
This love song
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
Is for my siblings
We grew up together
We missed him for years
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light, I’m scared
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light, how I miss him
Hey there, cuckoo, Daddy’s gone
Turn on the light
