Translation

Cielo arriba Jujuy,

Sky above Jujuy,

Camino a la puna me pongo a cantar,

On the way to the highlands, I start to sing,

Flores de los tolares,

Flowers from the tolares,

Bailan las cholitas el carnaval

Cholitas dance the carnival


Y en los ojos de las llamas

And in the eyes of the flames,

Me mira solita la luna de sal

The moon of salt looks at me alone,

Y están los remolinos,

And the whirlwinds are there,

En los arenales déle bailar

In the sand dunes, they dance away


Ramito de albahaca,

Sprig of basil,

Niña Yolanda ¿dónde estarás?

Little Yolanda, where will you be?

Atrás se quedó alumbrando su claridad.

Behind, she remained, illuminating her brightness.

Flores de los tolares,

Flowers from the tolares,

Bailan las cholitas el carnaval

Cholitas dance the carnival


Jujeñita, quien te vio

Jujeñita, whoever saw you

En la puna triste te vuelve a querer;

In the sad highlands, loves you again;

Mi pena se va al aire

My sorrow goes into the air,

Y en el aire llora su padecer

And in the air, it cries its suffering


Me voy yendo, volveré,

I'm leaving, I'll come back,

Los tolares solos se han vuelto a quedar;

The tolares are left alone again;

Se quemará en tus ojos,

It will burn in your eyes,

Zamba enamorada del carnaval

Zamba in love with the carnival
