"Would love to hear what you know/think/feel about the Creator/Father Earth/Mother aspects of aboriginal people's spiritual beliefs."

I left out, and need to clarify: oral history is no better nor worse than written history for its flaws. Written histories are not "objective" recordings of actual events, but are filtered through the perceptions & prejudices of their authors, far too often the conquerors.

the usual "good bye" is "viia con Dios," "go with God." I changed it to "via sin dios," "go without god."
Thank you for everything, my sister, Chavela Vargas. I love you.

"La Llorona" translation:
La Llorona means crying woman.Everyone call me "el negro", llorona
Black but sweet (sweet, tender, lovely)
I'm like the green chile, llorona
Hot but tasty

Oh my, llorona
llorona from yesterday and from today
Yesterday I was a wonder, llorona
Today I'm not even a shadow

They say I have no grief (bereavement), llorona
Because they don't see me cry
but there are deaths who make no sound, llorona
And their grief is even bigger

Oh my, llorona
Llorona of light blue color
And even if it costs me my life, llorona
I won't stop loving you.

This was her signature song.
