La Cuyanita

At the foot of the Little Cuyanita
At the foot of the Little Cuyanita
The girl, the cholo cries
The girl, the cholo cries

It breaks into 4000 pieces
It breaks into 4000 pieces
Like broth from the jora
Like broth from the jora

Green coca leaves
Green coca leaves
Empty smoke from a cigarette
Empty smoke from a cigarette

Guess my fate
Guess my fate
If death is really near
If death is really near

Go on, ungrateful dove
You’ll marry the hawk
It’ll suck the blood
From that hard heart

Tuco singing at your door
Tuco singing at your door
Because death is near you
You’ll leave me lonely and sad

Tuco from the hard rocks
Tuco from the hard rocks
You’ve probably already sealed my fate
To leave your side

When I started to whistle for you
When I started to whistle for you
The tuco answered me
You’ve surely betrayed me

The tuco is in my path
The tuco is in my path
It’s a sign I won’t return
To visit you again

Let it sing
Don’t say anything
Let it fly
Maybe it’ll die
