La Llorona
Los Chalchaleros
The Weeping Woman
And I want to leave my sorrows, but my sorrows do not abandon me
That's why I sing this zamba that they will call "la llorona"
The urpillitas sob their feelings next to their nests
Just like those little birds, I give my laments to the air
Where have you gone! My dear!
Where is the constancy that you swore to me that day?
The zamba that I am singing is awakening joys
They don't know that in it I sing about my own misfortunes
As much as I want to forget all the sorrows that torment me
The guitar is crying, and it laments for me
Where have you gone! Who took you!
My heart, day and night, has cried for you like the tattoo!
