Sunday Morning


Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

"The Spirit-Filled Works of Frida Kahlo" to Raphael's La Llorona

Duration 3:48



_____



by Raphaël Haroche


La Llorona


Salías del templo un día llorona cuando al pasar yo te ví
Salías del templo un día llorona cuando al pasar yo te ví
Hermoso güipil llevabas llorona que la vírgen te creí
Hermoso güipil llevabas llorona que la vírgen te creí

Hay de mi llorona, llorona, llorona de un campo lirio
Hay de mi llorona, llorona, de un campo lirio
El que no sabe de amores llorona, no sabe lo que es martirio
El que no sabe de amores llorona, no sabe lo que es martirio

No se que tienen las flores llorona, las flores de un campo santo
No se que tienen las flores llorona, las flores de un campo santo
Que cuando las mueve el viento llorona, parece que están llorando
Que cuando las mueve el viento llorona, parece que están llorando

Ay de mi llorona, llorona, llévame al río
Ay de mi llorona, llorona, llorona, llévame al río
Tápame con tu reboso llorona, por que me muero de frío
Tápame con tu reboso llorona, por que me muero de frío

Dos besos llevo en el alma llorona, que no se apartan de mí
Dos besos llevo en mi alma llorona, que no se apartan de mí
El último de mi madre llorona y el primero que te dí
El último de mi madre llorona y el primero que te dí
