You were leaving a temple one day, Llorona
When I saw you passing by
You were leaving a temple one day, Llorona
When I saw you passing by
A beautiful huipil you were wearing, Llorona
I believed that you were the Virgin
A beautiful huipil you were wearing, Llorona
I believed that you were the Virgin
The one who doesn't know about love, Llorona
He doesn't know what martyrdom is
The one who doesn't know about love, Llorona
He doesn't know what martyrdom is
I don't know what the flowers have, Llorona
The flowers from a cemetery
I don't know what the flowers have, Llorona
The flowers from a cemetery
That when the wind moves them, Llorona
It seems like they're crying
That when the wind moves them, Llorona
It seems like they're crying
Llorona, take me to the river
Llorona, take me to the river
Cover me with your shawl, Llorona
Because I'm dying of cold
Cover me with your shawl, Llorona
Because I'm dying of cold
