Carnaval - Illapu

Evocando tus quebradas, evocando tus salares

Indio toca ya tu quena y olvida asÌ tus pesares

Hoy es tu dÌa de fiestas, hoy por ti sonreir·s

El abandono del hombre con la aloja olvidaras

De lejos se oyen las voces, la pampa danzando esta

Es que en los pueblos del norte ha empezado el carnaval

Ya se escuchan los sicuris, las cajas y las tarqueadas

El indio esta borracho para Èl ya no existe nada

Ha muerto el carnaval y lo llevan a enterrar

A esperar otro aÒo m·s, para volverse a alegrar

De nuevo rostros sombrÌos, las indias a espalda el crÌo

Cada una con sus penas con su vida y con sus lÌos

Evoking your ravines, evoking your salt flats

Indio now play your quena and forget your sorrows

Today is your day of celebration, today for you you will smile

The abandonment of the man with the host you will forget

Voices can be heard from afar, the pampa dancing this

It is that in the towns of the north the carnival has begun

The sicuris, the boxes and the tarqueadas are already heard

The Indian is drunk for him nothing exists anymore

The carnival has died and they take it to bury

To wait another year, to be happy again

Gloomy faces again, the Indian women behind the child

Each one with her sorrows with her life and with her messes
