Del Tiempo I'ñaupa

From the I'ñaupa Time

Del Tiempo I'ñaupa

I shout that came from the mountainGrito que vino del monte
Sadness and painTristeza y dolor
In the form of a chacareraEn forma de chacarera
It has become a songSe ha hecho canción

Anguish of the old mountainAngustia del monte viejo
That came to an endQue llegó a su fin
Hideout of quitilipisGuarida de quitilipis
Playing the little fluteTocando el flautin

Like an unknown birdComo ave desconocida
In solitudeEn la soledad
This chacarera wanderedVagaba esta chacarera
Looking to nestBuscando anidar

It made a nest in my guitarHizo nido en mi guitarra
And there it stayedY allí se quedó
She doesn't want to leave meElla no quiere dejarme
Nor do INi tampoco yo

The blood of the Sun dried upSe secó en los quebrachales
In the quebracho forestsLa sangre del Sol
For blond weepingPor rubio llanto
The tar wept for its deathLa brea su muerte lloro

In the forests of the I'ñaupa timeEn bosques del tiempo I'ñaupa
Almost mineralCasi mineral
This old chacareraEsta vieja chacarera
Came to find meMe vino a buscar

The wind that cradled herEl viento que en los ramajes
In the branchesLa supo acunar
Sadly passes by whistlingTriste se pasa silbando
Because she's no longer herePorque ya no está

It made a nest in my guitarHizo nido en mi guitarra
And there it stayedY allí se quedó
She doesn't want to leave meElla no quiere dejarme
Nor do INi tampoco yo
