After walking so much, JuanitoDespués de tanto caminar Juanito
He sleeps in the shade of a small treeA la sombra de un arbolito duerme
And in his short sleepY en su corto sueño
His little llama eats jerkySu llamita come charque
And in his short sleepY en su corto sueño
His little llama eats chuñoSu llamita come chuño

Juanito was so surprisedTanta fue la sorpresa de Juanito
That their dream has come trueQue su sueño ha sido realidad
Why did you eat llama?¿Por qué has comido llamita?
I'm hungry nowAhora tengo hambre
To the Pampa, my dearA la Pampa mamita
Now I'm going to complainAhora me voy a quejar

Arriving at the Pampa, Juanito's partyLlegando a la Pampa fiesta Juanito

Invite your little llamaInvita a su llamita
To forget everythingPara olvidarlo todo
The hunger I hadEl hambre que tenía
