Ay de mi llorona,
llorona de un campo lirio
Los que no saben de amores llorona
No saben lo que es martirio

Woe is me, llorona
Llorona of the lily field
Those who do not know of love
Do not know what is martyrdom

Dicen que no tengo duelo Llorona
Porque no me ven llorar
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido Llorona
Y mas grande es su penar

They say I don't feel pain, Llorona
Because they don't see me cry
There are dead ones who make no sound, Lllorona
And their pain is greater
