La Llorona

La Llorona is a legendary figure in Latin American folklore.
She is said to be the ghost of a woman who drowned her children in a river out of jealousy and grief, and now wanders the earth looking for them.
She is often depicted as wearing a white dress and crying out for her lost children.

She walks along the riverbank
With tears that never dry
She searches for her little ones
But only hears their cry

She was once a loving mother
But her husband was untrue
He left her for another
And broke her heart in two

She could not bear the pain and shame
She lost her mind and soul
She took her children to the water
And let the current take control

She realized too late her sin
She tried to save them but in vain
She drowned herself in the same river
But could not join them in the plain

Now she is doomed to roam the earth
A restless spirit in despair
She scares the living with her wails
But no one can answer her prayer

She is the weeping woman
The one they call La Llorona
She is a tragic tale of love and loss
A warning and a curse.
