You were leaving a temple one day, Weeping Woman1,

and I saw you passing by.

You wore a beautiful huipil2, Weeping Woman,

I even thought you were the Virgin 3.

I even thought you were the Virgin.

Woe is me, Weeping Woman,

Weeping Woman from a field of irises.

Woe is me, Weeping Woman.

He who doesn't know about love,

won't know what is agony.

won't know what is agony.

I don't know what's with the flowers, Weeping Woman,

the flowers from a cemetery.

I don't know what's with the flowers, Weeping Woman,

the flowers from a cemetery.

When the wind moves them, Weeping Woman,

they look like they're crying.

Woe is me, Weeping Woman,

Weeping Woman, take me to the river.

Cover me with your shawl, Weeping Woman,

because I'm freezing to death.
