The Tears Of La Llorona

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

You can read the legend of La Llorona in this post of mine.

Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake your body line!

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.

- Gloria Anzaldua, “My Black Angelos,” Borderlands/La Frontera
