Ay Llorona

Deep in the moonlit night
Upon a river view
No other soul in sight
But something bothers you
Off in the distant fog
A fragile cry breaks through
A woman alone in white
Weeping tears of blue

Where you going senorita crying on your own
Something tells me that this path is one you walk alone

Ay Llorona
Are all the things that they say about you really true?
That you lost your way, searching for your children on a rainy day

Ay Llorona
Are you a lost wayward soul just looking for a friend
In the misty night, desperately crying out with all your might
"Ah mío hijos…
Ah míos dios"

Try to reach out to help
But something isn't right
Suddenly chills are felt
An air of subtle fright
Muddy red stains upon
A wispy dress of lace
Something is surely wrong
It's etched into her face

Where you going senorita you know it's too late
Something tells me that this story met a grizzly fate

Ay Llorona
Are all the things that they say about you really true?
That you lost your way, searching for your children on a rainy day

Ay Llorona
Are you a lost wayward soul just looking for a friend
In the misty night, desperately crying out with all your might
"Ah mío hijos…
Ah míos dios"

I feel it in my soul
This lump I cannot swallow
The truth is not so kind
Behind those tears a sick mind

Ay Llorona
Are all the things that they say about you really true?
That you lost your way, searching for the children that you threw away?
Ay Llorona
Hearing them scream at the water crashing all around
Did you even care? As your children cried and sputtered out for air
Ay Llorona
Are all the things that they say about you really true?
That you lost your way, searching for the children that you threw away?
Ay Llorona
Hearing them scream at the water crashing all around
Did you even care? As your children cried and sputtered out for air
Ay ay ay Llorona…
