Sky above Jujuy,Cielo arriba Jujuy,
On the way to the highlands I start to sing,Camino a la puna me pongo a cantar,
Flowers from the thistles,Flores de los tolares,
Cholitas dance the carnivalBailan las cholitas el carnaval

And in the eyes of the llamas,Y en los ojos de las llamas
The moon of salt looks at me aloneMe mira solita la luna de sal
And the whirlwinds are there,Y están los remolinos,
In the sandy dance floorEn los arenales déle bailar

Sprig of basil,Ramito de albahaca,
Little Yolanda where will you be?Niña Yolanda ¿dónde estarás?
Behind, she stayed lighting up her brightness.Atrás se quedó alumbrando su claridad.
Flowers from the thistles,Flores de los tolares,
Cholitas dance the carnivalBailan las cholitas el carnaval

Jujeñita, who saw youJujeñita, quien te vio
In the sad highlands, they fall in love with you again;En la puna triste te vuelve a querer;
My sorrow goes into the airMi pena se va al aire
And in the air, it cries its sufferingY en el aire llora su padecer

I'm leaving, I'll come back,Me voy yendo, volveré,
The thistles have been left alone;Los tolares solos se han vuelto a quedar;
It will burn in your eyes,Se quemará en tus ojos,
Zamba in love with the carnivalZamba enamorada del carnaval
