Salías de un templo un día, Llorona
Cuando al pasar yo te vi
Salías de un templo un día, Llorona
Cuando al pasar yo te vi
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
"La Llorona" is a hauntingly beautiful Mexican folk song, as interpreted by the talented artist Angela Aguilar, which tells a story of heartbreak and longing. The lyrics are laden with powerful emotions as they describe a chance encounter with the enigmatic Llorona, a woman who emerges from a temple in a stunning huipil. The singer's soul is tormented by the profound experience, unable to escape the agony of unrequited love. The song evokes a sense of melancholy and sorrow as it speaks of the mysteries of love and the sorrowful beauty of nature, making it a perfect choice for those looking to learn a language through the emotional depth and storytelling of music. La Llorona "The Crying Woman" or "The Wailer") is a Mexican vengeful ghost who is said to roam near bodies of water mourning her children who she drowned in a jealous rage after discovering her husband was cheating on her. She dies, either by committing suicide or murdered by her husband, depending on the version. La Llorona is now a spirit in great sorrow, dressed all in white or black. She regrets so much what she did, that she doesn't remember she did it. Now she wanders the rivers, churches and graveyards crying and looking for her children. Some say say that if you see her, she'll take you away to drown you, to others, she's an omen of death. In this song, she seems to be the representation of Death itself. The singer shares the pain of la Llorona, so she is used as a confidant. Also, near the end, the singer asks la Llorona to help them die.
