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?
These translated lyrics are roughly done and through the compilation on the two songs on the soundtrack...the song makes an allusion to La Llorrona (Weeping Woman) from the Mexican folk tales...as mentioned by the person who commented prior to me. However, I disagree with the analysis that the song is directly speaking of the Weeping Woman. The singer is telling of a woman who has him trapped because he can no longer love her anymore and he has to be with her because of her constant crying. He tells her, just as the woman who drowned her children because of the lament that she was suffering from her husband leaving her, to take him down to the river and drown him, thus ending his suffering... It's a very morbid song, very it's also extremely poetic...making it absolutely beautiful, esp. when you can understand it in its original tongue.
