La Llorona, The Weeping Woman
Aiiii aiiii aiiii She is crying for her dead children the lover gone, the lover not yet come: Her grito (cry) splinters the night.

The Tears of La Llorona
Water as dark as her lover’s eyes/ And deep like the pain she tries to hide/ He pledged his love to her and/ Vanished without a trace/ The tears of Llorona glisten on her face/ She walks into the water/ To wash away the pain/ Lifts her head to the sky/ And screams out his name - Lyrics by Kent Newsome and Robert Clay
