La Boliviana

The Bolivian Woman

La Boliviana

From Bolivia I come down,De Bolivia vengo bajando,
ayayay, poor my cholita.ayayay, pobre mi cholita.
God knows if I will returnSabe Dios si volveré
to the land where I was born.a la tierra donde nací.

Little carnations, little carnationsClavelitos, clavelitos
wrapped in a little paper.envueltos en un papelito.
Heart of hard stoneCorazón de piedra dura
eyes of mantialito.ojos de mantialito.

I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now,Ya me voy, ya me voy,
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now.ya me voy, ya me voy yendo.
God knows if I will returnSabe Dios si volveré
to the land where I was born.a la tierra donde nací.
