Lhasa de Sela - De cara a la pared / Facing the wall / Album "La Llorona" (1997)
"La Llorona" (the Wailing Woman) is the name of a legendary Mexican woman who threw her children into the river in her anger and jealousy. The villagers found her dead as well the next morning, and her ghost continued to roam the earth, wailing for her lost children.
*Lyrics:
Llorando
De cara a la pared
Se para la ciudad
Llorando
Y no hay más,
Muero quizás
Ha! Dónde estás

Soñando
De cara a la pared
Se quema la ciudad

Soñando
Sin respirar
Te quiero amor
Te quiero amor

Rezando
De cara a la pared
Se hunde la ciudad

Rezando
Santa María
Santa María
***
Crying
Face to the wall
The city turns off

Crying
And there is no more
Maybe I die
Where are you?

Dreaming
Face to the wall
The city burns down

Dreaming
Without breathing
I want to love you
I want to love you

Praying
Face to the wall
The city sinks

Praying
Saint Mary
