Lila Downs Feat. Mariachi Juvenil De Tecalitlán - La Llorona Lyrics

Lyrics

Salías del templo un día, Llorona,
Cuando al pasar yo te vi,
Salías del templo un día, Llorona,
Cuando al pasar yo te vi,
Hermoso huipil llevabas, Llorona,
Que la Virgen te creí.
Hermoso huipil llevabas, Llorona,
Que la Virgen te creí.
Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona de azul celeste.
Ay de mi, Llorona, Llorona, Llorona de azul celeste.
No dejaré de quererte Llorona
Y aunque la vida me cueste.
No dejaré de quererte Llorona
Y aunque la vida me cueste.
Todos me dicen el negro, Llorona
Negro pero cariñoso
Todos me dicen el negro, Llorona
Negro pero cariñoso
Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona
Picante pero sabroso
Yo soy como el chile verde, Llorona
Picante pero sabroso
