La Humpa
Atahualpa Yupanqui
The Humpa
I am, I am
Like the black hill from Quebrada
And you, little water
That refreshes me, my Jujuy girl
And you, little water
That refreshes me, my Jujuy girl
I am a little path
From uphill Quebrada
And you, little wind
That caresses me, my Jujuy girl
They know how to call it Humpa
To the cholita who is suffering
They know how to call it Humpa, my Jujuy girl
Humpa, that's how I found you on my path, my Jujuy girl
I'm leaving, I'm going to the
High peaks, Quebrada
(Where, where shine
The snow-capped mountains, my Jujuy girl)
There, there I will live
Thinking, Quebrada
About the, about the Sun
Of the ravine, my Jujuy girl
They know how to call it Humpa
To the cholita who is suffering
They know how to call it Humpa, my Jujuy girl
Humpa, that's how I found you on my path, my Jujuy girl
