Carnavalito Jujeño

To return to Jujuy on those nostalgic nights
I search the sky for the bright star and the heart of the earth
From Anastasio Quiroga to a singing grandma
With the muleteers of Yavi, the anateros of Juella

From Mario Busignani to a grandpa Cornetero
And the enchanted crew, a thousand eight hundred singers
To Don Burro Lamadrid, Joaquín Burgos would rhyme
While Cafrune sang as a kid in that house

I'm from Jujuy, this is me, like the lapacho, like the cardón
I'm from Jujuy, I am what I am, child of the wind, brother of the sun

Alongside the Chañi brothers, the Caballero brothers
Aramayo and Rivarola, families of musicians
Elías returns to the maidens, Hugo Chagra returns to Jujuy
Cisneros cries in the bellows, Heriberto in the ravine

Domingo Zerpa the poet, Leopoldo Aban Abra Pampa
Carlos Guanuco in the huayra, Ricardo Vilca Humahuaca
Domingo Ríos and the Churqui, who came wandering around
Strumming with yerbita, with the Tarrito Cuñado

I'm from Jujuy, this is me, like the lapacho, like the cardón
I'm from Jujuy, I am what I am, child of the wind, brother of the sun

Héctor Tizón dreams in Yala, plays Torres Aparicio
With Don Hermógenes Cayo, Froilán Cabeza and Murillo
Uña Ramos plays the quena, Barrojo sings in the Huayco
Máximo Puma in the Puna, with Coyita Mercado

Paco Lucas Quererinka, Miguelito del Solar
Luis Paredes is an angel who taught us to fly
Yuli Casas, Calanchito, the singer of the house
Huevo Helguera and the bohemian of Andariego Miranda

I'm from Jujuy, this is me, like the lapacho, like the cardón
I'm from Jujuy, I am what I am, child of the wind, brother of the sun

Rengo Mallagray toasts under the tents of Yala
For Galán and Calveti, who dreamed of a great north
Resisting patriarchy, Barbarita with her box
Demitropulos ignites freedom in her gaze

Marina Vilte and her struggle sing for Purmamarca
Avelino for the times, El Alguilar accompanies him
Rodolfo Kusch is a flag, Raúl Perjchal is a beacon
While Don Groppa and Fidalgo strum to the sun with Medardo

I'm from Jujuy, this is me, like the lapacho, like the cardón
I'm from Jujuy, I am what I am, child of the wind, brother of the sun
I'm from Jujuy, this is me, with this story, with this love
