'''La Llorona'' is Spanish for "The Weeping Woman" and is a popular legend in Spanish-speaking cultures in the colonies of the Americas, with many versions. The legend has it that La Llorona was a beautiful woman who murdered her children to be with the man she loved (who may have been their father) but she was anyway rejected by him, so she killed herself. Her ghost is doomed to wander, vainly searching for her children for all eternity, weeping all the time. It is said that she will kidnap children who wander off or misbehave. The version of the legend here is written in verse, a collaboration of the poet Juan de Dios Peza and the journalist Vicente Riva Palaciao.
