La Llorona
Los Chalchaleros
The Weeping Woman
I want to leave my sorrows behind, but my sorrows won't let me go
That's why I sing this tune they call the Weeping Woman
That's why I sing this tune they call the Weeping Woman
The little birds cry by their nests, feeling all the pain
Just like those little birds, I let my laments fly in the air
Just like those little birds, I let my laments fly in the air
Why did you leave me, my dear?
Where are the promises you swore to me that day?
Where are the promises you swore to me that day?
The tune I'm singing is waking up the joys
They don't know that in it, I sing my own misfortunes
They don't know that in it, I sing my own misfortunes
No matter how much I try to hide all the pain that haunts me
The guitars cry out, and they lament for me
The guitars cry out, and they lament for me
Where have you gone? Who took you away?
My heart calls for you day and night like a mourning dove
My heart calls for you day and night like a mourning dove
