White bundles float,
Like cotton tufts
Swollen from the bloat,
Like coconut puffs
A shrill weeping cry,
Echoes across the stream
No matter how you try,
Chill water's moonlight gleam
The sound is impossible,
To ignore or refuse
Like a preacher's gospel,
Baptised in the deluge
A heinous act committed,
I took back what I gave
Adultery submitted,
Them beneath the wave
La Llorona
Cursed with dreadful memory
La Llorona
Remember for eternity
La Llorona
Wails pour Like water spilled
La Llorona
For the children that you killed
Heartbreak can effect,
And strangle love's purpose
But innocence one must protect
And not hold below the surface
What was done to you was tragic,
But turnabout is not fair play
Pain was abyssopelagic.
Suicide, your debt didn't pay
And so you walk the waters brim,
Weeping for the ones you took
Searching for your husband slim,
To drown beneath the brook
A heinous act committed,
I took back what I gave
Adultery submitted,
Them beneath the wave
La Llorona
Cursed with dreadful memory
La Llorona
Remember for eternity
La Llorona
Wails pour Like water spilled
La Llorona
For the children that you
Killed
La Llorona
Cursed with dreadful memory
La Llorona
Remember for eternity.
La Llorona
Wails pour Like water spilled
La Llorona
For the children that you killed
