La Llorona

Her screams lights up the night
Her face fills you with fright
And still with all her might
She yearns to make things right

For them, they’ve lost their lives
She warned them of the dive
She prayed that one survived
Yet none of them arrived

They’re gone, they’re gone, she yells
So on, so on, church bells
Of tears and salt she smells
There are no last farewells, farewells

La llorona que pasó
Por qué lloras mi amor
Y los niños dónde están
En el rió duermen ya

“I’m sorry”
“My sons”

She walks, hands dripping wet
She looks really upset
She was never a threat
Yet no one will forget

For them, they’ve lost their lives
She warned them of the dive
She prayed that one survived
Yet none of them arrived

They’re gone, they’re gone, she knows
Yet from their graves they rose
Her insanity grows
Just as the river flows and flows

La llorona que pasó
Por qué lloras mi amor
Y los niños dónde están
En el rió duermen ya

They’re gone they're gone, she digs
I slaughtered them like pigs
I drowned my fucking kids
Their necks their necks, they cracked like twigs

They’re gone they're gone, she cries
Her eyes cast to the sky
She never said goodbye
And now’s her turn to die

La llorona que pasó
Se te fueron tus hijos
Como va la excavación
Para ti no hay salvación
