The Weeping Woman

La Llorona

Everyone calls me the black one, weeping womanTodos me dicen el negro, llorona
Black but affectionateNegro pero cariñoso
I am like green chili, weeping womanYo soy como el chile verde, llorona
Spicy but tastyPicante pero sabroso

Oh! From me, weeping womanAy! De mi, llorona
Weeping woman of yesterday and todayLlorona de ayer y hoy
Yesterday I was a marvel, weeping womanAyer maravilla fui, llorona
And now I am not even a shadowY ahora ni sombra soy

They say I have no mourning, weeping womanDicen que no tengo duelo, llorona
Because they don't see me cryPorque no me ven llorar
There are dead who make no noise, weeping womanHay muertos que no hacen ruido, llorona
And their suffering is greaterY es mas grande su penar

Oh! From me, weeping womanAy! De mi, llorona
Weeping woman in light blueLlorona de azul celeste
And even though life is hard for me, weeping womanY aunque la vida me cuesta, llorona
I will not stop loving youNo dejare de quererte
