La Llorona, La Llorona where does the river flow?
La Llorona weave your tale of tears and woe
Weeping woman, tell me tragic dear
Weep for your own desperate soul

Maria, Maria, how did this happen, love?
Maria, Maria, you were the fairest dove
You held your breath, as they could not bare
The water flowing through their hair

Your children, your children
How could you do this, dear?
Your children, your children
You forever shed a tear

For what you did to them
For the pain of your son
And horror on your daughter's face

The love of your children
The scorn of your desire
Love from a man
Love from your child
Choose well now,
Or take a bow
And drown, forever dear, in your tears

Ay, mis hijos! Ay mis hijos! You cry in the night
Take all the young ones, you find from their fright
Search high and low, weeping from woe
La Llorona, the spirit of the deep
