La Llorona
Cantares de La Cañadita
The Weeping Woman
I want to leave my sorrows, but my sorrows do not abandon me
That's why I sing this zamba that they will call The Weeping Woman
That's why I sing this zamba that they will call The Weeping Woman
The little birds sob next to their nests their feelings
Just like those little birds, I give my laments to the air
Just like those little birds, I give my laments to the air
Why did you leave me, my dear?
Where are the promises you swore to me that day?
Where are the promises you swore to me that day?
The zamba I am singing awakens the joys
They don't know that in them I sing my own misfortunes
They don't know that in them I sing my own misfortunes
No matter how much I try to hide all the sorrows that torment me
The guitars go weeping and they lament for me
The guitars go weeping and they lament for me
Where have you gone? Who has taken you away?
My heart day and night has called for you like the crespín
