[intro]
Oh
Beautiful Maria
Oh
Maria, Maria
[verse1]
Living the perfect life
Have a family with the perfect man
Have the money and the wealth
The comfort and kept safe
Couldn’t imagine anything different
There’s nothing that’s missing
Oh
Beautiful Maria
Oh
Maria, Maria
Living the perfect life
Three loving kids
But everything comes to an end
When the man finds his mistress
Oh Maria, Maria
Driven in madness and anger
Dragging the kids down to the river
Where lungs fill with water
Decades pass and the spirit lingers
[chorus]
Oh la Llorona
La Llorona
Searching for her children
Cursed to the land
Looking for what’s missing
You can hear the screaming
¡Ay, mis hijos!
Oh, my children!
Oh La Llorona
La Llorona
[verse2]
Guilt fills the air
Signs that say stay away from the water
You can hear the pained screams that seem far
But turn around she’s right here
Feel the screaming breath on my skin
Shaky breaths drawn
Turn around and she’s gone
The clouded mist
Lady in white giving lost children a kiss
Missing her own
Wondering all alone
Forever condemned no way for her wounds to mend
Oh la Llorona
La Llorona
Searching for her children
Cursed to the land
Looking for what’s missing
You can hear the screaming
¡Ay, mis hijos!
Oh, my children!
Oh La Llorona
La Llorona
[outro]
Oh
Beautiful Maria
Oh
Maria, Maria
Living the perfect life
Three loving kids
But everything comes to an end
When the man finds his mistress
Oh Maria, Maria
Oh Maria
[violin solo]
Oh la Llorona
La Llorona
Searching for her children
Cursed to the land
Looking for what’s missing
You can hear the screaming
¡Ay, mis hijos!
Oh, my children!
Oh La Llorona
La Llorona
Oh Maria
Oh La Llorona
¡Ay, mis hijos!
Oh, my children!
Oooooooh
La Llorona
