Little Jujuy

Quiaqueñita

Today I started thinking about my hometownHoy me i' puesto a pensar en mi pago
Proud to be from JujuyOrgulloso de ser un jujeño
Today I started crying for my landHoy mi puesto a llorar por mi tierra
Mother Earth, sunny quebradeñoPachamama solar quebradeño

Today I started thinking about my babyHoy mi puesto a pensar en mi guagua
About my tekis, my chola, my dogEn mi tekis, mi chola, mi perro
Today I started singing with my cajaHoy me y puesto cantar con mi caja
Maybe far, far away from the hillTal vez lejos, muy lejos del cerro

Today I saw the puna in a dreamHoy he visto la puna en un sueño
Greenish, brown, colorfulVerdritojra, marrón, coloroda
And sitting next to me, my apachetaY sentao al la'o mi apacheta
Right next to my quena, I criedBien juntito a mi quena lloraba

And I saw you, Humahuaca, so quietY te he visto Humahuaca callada
With your narrow and clear streetsCon tus calles angostas y claras
Your stone walls and ancient housesTus tapiales pircas y antigales
Your sheep, your donkeys, your goatsTus ovejas, tus burros, tus cabras

Oh Jujuy, oh Jujuy, oh JujuyAy Jujuy, ay Jujuy, ay Jujuy
Little Jujuy of my soulJujuicito de mi alma
Oh Jujuy, oh Jujuy, oh JujuyAy Jujuy, ay Jujuy, ay Jujuy
Little Jujuy of my soulJujuicito de mi alma

Today my eyes also got wetHoy mis ojos también se mojaron
When the chaschas and drums were playingCuando chaschas y bombos sonaban
And the erquencho trembled in my handsY el erquencho en mi manos temblaba
And I looked at your green valleysY tus valles verdosos miraba

Today I started thinking about my hometownHoy me y puesto a pensar en mi pago
Ramal, Puna, Quebrada, and ValleysRamal, Puna, Quebrada y Valles
Abra Pampa, Humahuaca, La QuiacaAbra Pampa, Humahuaca, La Quiaca
Little Jujuy of my enchanted soulJujuicito de mi alma encantada

Today I saw the puna in a dreamHoy he visto la puna en un sueño
Greenish, brown, colorfulVerdritojra, marrón, colorada
And sitting next to me, my apachetaY sontao al lao mi apacheta
Right next to my quena, I criedBien juntito a mi quena lloraba

And I saw you, Humahuaca, so quietY te he visto Humahuaca callada
With your narrow and clear streetsCon tus calles angostas y claras
Your stone walls and ancient housesTus tapiales pircas y antigales
Your sheep, your donkeys, your goatsTus ovejas, tus burros, tus cabras
