Del Tiempo I Ñaupa

From Times Past

Del Tiempo I Ñaupa

A cry that came from the mountain, sadness and painGrito que vino del monte tristeza y dolor
In the form of a chacarera, it became a songEn forma de chacarera se ha hecho cancion
The anguish of the old mountain that has come to an endAngustia del monte viejo que llego a su fin
A hideout for little critters playing the fluteGuarida de quipilipis tocando el flautin
Like a strange bird in solitudeComo ave desconocida en la soledad
This chacarera wandered, looking for a place to nestVagaba esta chacarera buscando anidar

It made a nest in my guitarHizo nido en mi guitarra
And there it stayedY allí se quedo
It doesn’t want to leave meElla no quiere dejarme
And neither do INi tampoco yo
