[English]
Oh, poor me, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona, of celestial blue
Oh, poor me, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona, of celestial blue
Even if it costs me my life, Llorona, I will not stop loving you
Even if it costs me my life, Llorona, I will not stop loving you
I don't know what flowers have, Llorona, the flowers of the cemetery
I don't know what flowers have, Llorona, the flowers of the cemetery
That when the wind moves them, Llorona, it seems they are crying
That when the wind moves them, Llorona, it seems they are crying
...
To a Holy Christ of iron, Llorona, I told him my sorrows
To a Holy Christ of iron, Llorona, I told him my sorrows
How great my sorrows must have been, Llorona, that the Holy Christ cried
How great my sorrows must have been, Llorona, that the Holy Christ cried
Don't think that because I sing, Llorona, my heart is happy
Don't think that because I sing, Llorona, my heart is happy
One also sings from pain, Llorona, when one can no longer cry
One also sings from pain, Llorona, when one can no longer cry
...
Uhh, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Uhh, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
...
