It looks like my idea of Trump-bulary makes easy to find images of those popular expressions. This is the third Trumk-bulary (Trompa-bulario) playing with words in popular expressions, fragments of songs and …..
Spanish Version
Trompa-bulario (Continuación: 8, 9, and 10 de 10 mini-expresiones de la sección Trompa-bulario)
8. Palabras voladoras
“Cucurrucucúuuu, cucurrucucúuuu Paloma
Cucurrucucúuuuuuu no llores”’
9. Palabras que duelen (continuando la misma canción):
¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay cantabaaaa!
¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay gemíaaaaa!
¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay cantabaaaa!
¡De pasión mortaaaal moríaaaa!
(…)
¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay, Paloma, ya no me dejes!:
10. Palabras nostálgicas:
México lindo y querido
si muero lejos de ti
que digan que estoy dormido …
(8, 9, y 10 mini-expresiones de 10 de la sección Trompa-bulario , y más por venir)
English Version
8. Soaring Words
(Evoking “Cucurrucucú Paloma”)
“Coo-roo-coo-coo, coo-roo-coo-coo, my Dove,
Coo-roo-coo-coo, oh, do not weep.”
9. Aching Words
(Continuing the same song)
“Ay, ay, ay, aaaaay, she used to sing!
Ay, ay, ay, aaaaay, she used to moan!
Ay, ay, ay, aaaaay, she used to sing!
Of mortal passion, she was dying!
(…)
Ay, ay, ay, aaaaay, my Dove, do not leave me now!”

If I should die far away from you,
Let them say that I am only asleep…”
(8, 9, and 10 mini-expressions out of 10 from Trunk-bulary section, and more to come)
The Experiment
This section I titled “Trunk-bulary” (or “Trompa-bulario” in Spanish), which consists of mini-sentences and fleeting phrases I captured in the moment. I wanted to rework them with a distinct Mexican cultural flavor.
By the way, the idea I get about to develop this kind of mini-expressions in an extended format are going to accumulating in my notes.
The idea of playing with the meaning of cultural expressions in a short enunciation as a kind of words. Well, the idea is there walking and taking notes every time I get something in my mind.
This last part for the first idea of Trump-bulary made me to revisit the song Cucurrucucú Paloma and to listen several times. I confese it moves me something inside.
So, I named a set of words around Cucurrucucú Paloma (dove) as Flying words.
Here are the last three of ten mini-expressions from the series:
As I have mentioned before — I am surprised with the result from AI for the illustration, I was expecting to get something not related with the idea of these mini-poems, as I was after no more illustrations. The AI applied till Poem 16, I didn’t feel I needed it for the section of Trompa-bulario: Poem 17, 18 and 19.
As it is about popular expressions, there are always something over google, thanks to google for the help.
Now, out of Mexico it sound as a fresh way to be there, to retake the songs and to listen once and once and once.
I am still thinking about the experiment of selling a version with no images. I am getting the idea to sell my +50 poems in Spanish without illustrations.
For now, my mini-expressios for the section Trompa-bulario is finished.
I am keeping the seeds for more...It gave me the seed to continue writing expression with the same idea of playing with the ‘kind’ of words according to the evocation.
Blessing reading for everyone — and for holding space for these small, searching into a dream!
Note:
Here you have one of the best versions I found about Cucurrucucú Paloma. It's in Spanish but you can feel how nice it sounds: Cucucurrucucú Paloma
Gaetano:
- In a commentary they say this passage which made me think How many other stories very interesting should be with this song.
En un comentario cuentan esta historia que me hizo pensar en cuántas otras situaciones super-interesantes habrá con esta canción:

Esto cierra muy bien la mini-serie. La jugada más fuerte aquí es que no estás “citando canciones” por decoración; estás usando frases ya cargadas de memoria colectiva para volverlas poema. Eso le da a tu Trompa-bulario una mezcla rara y buena: juego verbal por fuera, nostalgia por dentro.
En “Palabras voladoras” y “Palabras que duelen” tomas Cucurrucucú Paloma y la conviertes en eco emocional más que en simple referencia. Luego rematas con “México lindo y querido”, que cambia el tono hacia la pertenencia, la distancia y la memoria del país; ese cierre le da más peso al conjunto porque pasa del canto dolido a la identidad afectiva. La imagen de la paloma además funciona perfecto: no adorna, traduce visualmente la idea de palabra que vuela y palabra que hiere.
También se nota la continuidad con tu Poema 18: allí ya venías trabajando esa lógica de mini-expresiones populares convertidas en pieza poética, y aquí la fórmula se siente más afinada. No es una ocurrencia suelta; ya parece un pequeño proyecto con voz propia. Eso vale bastante, porque muchos experimentos con frases populares se quedan en chiste interno, y el tuyo sí alcanza tono, ritmo y memoria cultural.
Si tuviera que resumirlo en una línea: este “Trompa-bulario” funciona porque juega, pero no juega en vacío; juega con cosas que la gente ya lleva cantadas encima.
Congratulations!
