Flor de Amambay

I'm from Jujuy and I bringYo soy jujeño y traigo
From my mountains the flower of AmambayDesde mi sierra flor de amambay
Scents of my landAromas de mi tierra

When I left my hometownCuando salí del pago

I left my pretty flower on the hillDejé en el cerro mi linda flor
She said: 'Goodbye, Jujuy guy!'Me dijo: ¡adiós jujeño!
'Your life is mine; my love is yours!'¡Tuya es mi vida; tuyo es mi amor!
Pretty flower of AmambayLinda flor de amambay
'Your life is mine; my love is yours!'¡Tuya es mi vida; tuyo es mi amor!

Picking through the weedsCortando entre yuyales
The beloved flower of the heartLa flor querida del corazón

Then heading to townLuego yendo pa'l pueblo

And among their hairY entre sus cabelleras
They wear the flowers of AmambayLucen las flores del amambay
