Legend has it that a very pretty woman, with brown skin and jet black hair, fell in love with a soldier one fine day and from that love a girl was born. The soldier had to go, thus abandoning his partner in love and his little daughter. I don't know if the soldier left because of the war that prevailed in the days of my country's independence or if the soldier left because he didn't want to be part of this family.
The fact is that the woman in this story is left in a very precarious situation, alone and with a daughter, waiting for a man who won't come back. The woman begins to lose her mind. Her daughter, who is a baby, cries too much... this because of the mother's conditions, she can't control her baby's crying. The mother decides to go to the river and in a fit of madness, drowns her baby. She immediately loses consciousness ...The effort of going to the river and the stress resulting from committing a murder making her faint.
When she wakes up, she looks at the lifeless body of her little daughter and this ends up driving her crazy. And he screams, desperately and repeatedly... "Ay mi hija!" (oh, my daughter!) It's then that the townspeople come and see the horrendous spectacle... they harass her, they accuse her.
She, the upset mother, manages to flee into the countryside, to the plains ...she doesn't appear again. But instead, over time and in dark nights, you start to hear a woman screaming, with terrifying sounds, "Mi hija! Mi hija!" (My daughter!).
Legend has it that she steals the children who are out of their house at night and alone. They say it's her way to get her daughter back.
That is why the mothers of the plains are used to telling their children to not go out at night, If they don't want to be taken by the "Llorona" (Weeping woman).
