Little Jujuy

Quiaqueñita

Today I sat down to think about my homeHoy mi puesto a pensar en mi pago
Proud to be from JujuyOrgulloso de ser un jujueño
Today I sat down to cry for my landHoy mi puesto a llorar por mi tierra
Mother Earth, sun of the quebradaPachamama solar quebradeño

Today I sat down to think about my little oneHoy mi puesto a pensar en ami wuawua
About my girl, my dog, my lifeEn mi teques mi chola mi perro
Today I sat down to sing with my heartHoy mi puesto cantar con mi caga
Maybe far, far from the mountainTal vez lejos muy lejos del cerro

Today I saw the puna in a dreamHoy e visto la puna en un sueño
Brownish green, a vibrant hueVerdritogra marron coloroda
And sitting there, I felt the warmthY sentado alomia pacheta
Right next to me, I criedBien juntito a mi queda llorava

And I saw you, Humahuaca, so quietY te visto humauaca callada
With your narrow, clear streetsCon tus calles angostas y claras
Your walls, your fences, and your old housesTus tapiales pircas y antigales
Your sheep, your donkeys, your goatsLus obejas tus buuuros 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 hojos también se mojaron
When the drums and bombos playedCuando chaschas y bombos sonabas
And the erquencho in my hand strummedY el erquencho en mi mano templaba
And I looked at your green valleysY tus valles verdosos miraba

Today I sat down to think about my homeHoy mi puesto a pensar en mi pago
Ridges, puna, quebrada, and valleysRamal puna quebrada y valles
Open pampa, Humahuaca, La QuiacaAbra pampa humauaca la quiaca
Little Jujuy of my enchanted soulJujuicito de mi alma encantada

Today I saw the puna in a dreamHoy e visto la puna en un sueño
Brownish green, a vibrant hueVerdritogra marron colorada
And sitting there, I felt the warmthY sontao alomia pacheta
Right next to me, my quena criedBien juntito a mi quena llorava

And I saw you, Humahuaca, so quietY te visto humauaca callada
With your narrow, clear streetsCon tus calles angostas y claras
Your walls, your fences, and your old housesTus tapiales pircas y antigales
Your sheep, your donkeys, your goatsLus obejas tus buuuros 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 jujuuuuuy
Little Jujuy of my soulJujuiciiiiiito de mi alma
