LA LLORONA
By: Dakhóta Romero

LETRA

Todos me dicen el negro, llorona
Negro pero cariñoso
Todos me dicen el negro, llorona
Negro pero cariñoso

Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona
Picante pero sabroso
Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona
Picante pero sabroso

Dicen que no tengo duelo, Llorona
Porque no me ven llorar
Dicen que no tengo duelo, Llorona
Porque no me ven llorar

Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, Llorona
Y es mas grande su penar
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, Llorona
Y es mas grande su penar

Ay de mi Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Llévame al rio
Ay de mi Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Llévame al rio

Tápame con tu rebozo, Llorona
Que ya me muero de frio
Tápame con tu rebozo, Llorona
Que ya me muero de frio

English

They all call me the dark one, Llorona
Dark and tender-hearted
They all call me the dark one, Llorona
Dark and tender-hearted

I am like the green chili, Llorona
Spicy but delicious
I am like the green chili, Llorona
Spicy but delicious

They say I carry no grief, Llorona
Because they never see me weep
They say I carry no grief, Llorona
Because they never see me weep

The dead make no noise, Llorona
And deeper still is their sorrow
The dead make no noise, Llorona
And deeper still is their sorrow

Woe is me, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Take me down to the river
Woe is me, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona
Take me down to the river

Wrap me in your shawl, Llorona
For I am dying of the cold
Wrap me in your shawl, Llorona
For I am dying of the cold
