La Del Rebozo Blanco
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The One with the White Shawl
That white shawl she wears
And with jokes and laughter she comes showing off
No one knows the sorrows she carries inside
No one knows the sorrows she's covering
Her wounded pride suffers from contempt
And instead of sadly retreating to cry
Today she dresses up for a wedding like a bride
With her white shawl to sing
Oh, if only
Under a shawl
My dear, to cover the sorrows
Under a shawl
Cover the sorrows
Now they call her the one with the white shawl
Because they see her dressed all in orange blossom
And many would like to see her in black
And many would like to see her cry
Even though they have shattered her whole life
Even though she always goes inside in mourning
She covers everything with her shawl
And she doesn't care about the world or its wickedness
Oh, if only
Under a shawl
My dear, to cover the sorrows
Under a shawl
Cover the sorrows
