Her screams light up the night
Her face fills you with fright
And still with all her might
She yearns to make things right

For them, they’ve lost their lives
She warned them of the dive
She prayed that one survived
Yet none of them arrived

They’re gone, they’re gone, she yells
So on, so on, church bells
Of tears and salt she smells
There are no last farewells, farewells

La llorona que pasó
(Crying woman, what has happened?)
Por qué lloras mi amor
(Why do you cry, my love?)
Y los niños dónde están
(And your sons, where have they gone?)
En el río duermen la
(In the river is where they rest.)

“I’m sorry”
“My sons”

She walks, hands dripping wet
She looks really upset
She was never a threat
Yet no one will forget

For them, they’ve lost their lives
She warned them of the dive
She prayed that one survived
Yet none of them arrived

They’re gone, they’re gone, she knows
Yet from their graves they rose
Her insanity grows
Just as the river flows and flows

La llorona que pasó
(Crying woman, what has happened?)
Por qué lloras mi amor
(Why do you cry, my love?)
Y los niños dónde están
(And your sons, where have they gone?)
En el río duermen la
(In the river is where they rest.)

They’re gone they're gone, she digs
I slaughtered them like pigs
I drowned my *** kids
Their necks their necks, they cracked like twigs

They’re gone they're gone, she cries
Her eyes cast to the sky
She never said goodbye
And now’s her turn to die

La llorona que pasó
(Crying woman, what has happened?)
Se te fueron tus hijos
(Your children have left you.)
Como va la excavación
(How is the excavation going?)
Para ti no hay salvación
(For you, there will never be salvation.)
