Llorena lyrics

Washing clothes in the water, cold

With fingers arthritic aching, old

Widowed and alone on the earth alone

A laundress of others' possessions

The tears that wash away the soap

Mix pure sorrows with happiness

Amid the memories mixed in the rinse

Joys that wash away in a current

I remember you, remember well

My heart felt your toil, your pain

A spirit of compassion, in passing

I pray you find tranquility, flowing

Even if it is not here, surviving
