🇨🇴The Weeping Woman - The Soul That Cries for Her Children

Many Colombian villages, especially at Llanos and Tolima, people talk about the Crying Woman, a lady wearing a white dress who is always wandering in middle of the night close to rivers crying for her lost children. The story tells us, that in the middle of a crazy attack or pain, she drowned them, and later she took her own life. Since this event, her soul has never found rest. People say that she appears in the middle of the fog, and her cries can shake even the bravest. Some people believe her scream is a sign of tragedy or death.


🇨🇴 La Llorona – El alma que llora por sus hijos

En muchos pueblos de Colombia, especialmente en los Llanos y el Tolima, se escucha hablar de la Llorona, una mujer vestida de blanco que vaga por las noches cerca de los ríos llorando por sus hijos perdidos. La historia cuenta que, en un arranque de locura o dolor, los ahogó, y luego se quitó la vida. Desde entonces, su alma no ha encontrado descanso. Dicen que aparece entre la neblina y que sus lamentos estremecen hasta al más valiente. Algunos creen que su grito anuncia tragedia o muerte.

Corrections

When talking about things that occur in a certain area, we say “in ___” not “at ___”

The story tells us,goes that in the middle of a crazy attack or painn emotional episode, she drowned them, and later she took her own life.

1. “The story tells us” sounds wrong here, “the story goes” or “the story is about” sound better
2. “A crazy attack or pain” sound very odd, I couldn’t think of any word to replace “pain”, but I think “emotional episode” replaces “crazy attack” well

Very good, very minimal errors! I’ve heard about this story before, but I heard that it was from Mexico. I didn’t know it was also a popular story in other countries like Columbia too. Is it a Latin American thing?

Hello! Thank you for your feedback 💜 Not everyone believes in exactly the same legend, but many Latin American countries share similar cultural roots. Indigenous communities already had legends about spirits, and the Spaniards brought their own stories about ghosts and punishments. Over time, these beliefs mixed and were passed down orally, which is why there are similar versions of these legends throughout the region.

You are saying that people inside the Colombian Villages tell this story. That is why "In" is needed at the start.

The story tells us, that in the middle ofduring a crazy attack or pain, she drowned them, and later she took her own life.

"In the middle of" is generally replaced by "during" when you are talking about an action that happened in the middle of another.
