Chavela Vargas - La llorona-The weeping lady




A song which can be felt only in few countries in the world and I think Greece is one of them. Pain...crying...soul. I can't recall having heard in English such a song projecting so hard and powerful feelings.Poor them...
Dicen que no tengo duelo, llorona,
Porque no me ven llorar.
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, llorona,
Y es más grande su penar.
Ay de mí, llorona,
Llorona de azul celeste,
No dejaré de quererte, llorona
Y aunque la vida me cueste.
Si al cielo subir pudiera, llorona,
Las estrellas te bajara.
La luna a tus pies pusiera, llorona,
Con el sol te coronara.
Todos me dicen el negro, llorona
negro pero cariñoso
todos me dicen el negro, llorona
negro pero cariñoso
yo soy como el chilo verde, llorona
picante pero sabroso
ay de mi llorona, llorona de ayer y hoy
ay de mi llorona, llorona de ayer y hoy
ayer era maravilla, llorona
y ahora ni sombra soy
ayer era maravilla, llorona
y ahora ni sombra soy.
Ay de mí, llorona,
Llorona de negros ojos.
Ya con ésta se despide, llorona,
Tu negrito soñador.
They all call me the black one, Weeping Woman,
The black one but the loving one,
They all call me the black one, Weeping Woman,
The Black One but the loving one,
I am like the green chili plant, Weeping Woman
Spicy but delicious,
I am like the green chili plant, Weeping Woman,
Spicy but delicious,

You were coming out of the temple one day, Weeping Woman,
When by passing by you caught my attention,
You were coming out of the temple one day, Weeping Woman,
When by passing by you caught my attention,

Beautiful you were,
The Virgin I thought I saw,
You say I have no pain, because you never see me cry,
There are the dead who do not cry,
and their sorrow is much greater than mine,

There by me, Weeping Woman, Weeping Woman, Weeping Woman, Take ME to the river,
Cover me in you (bosom?) because I am dying of coldness

Because I love you, you want for me to love you more,
I have already given you my life, Weeping Woman,
What else do you want?
