Lyrics
Llegando está el carnaval, quebradeño mi cholitai
Llegando está el carnaval, quebradeño mi cholitai
Fiesta de la quebrada, humahuaqueña para cantar
Herque, charango y bombo carnavalito para bailar
Quebradeño, humahuaqueñito (x2)
Fiesta de la quebrada, humahuaqueña para cantar
Herque, charango y bombo carnavalito para bailar
Translation
Carnaval is almost here, valley-dweller my andean highlander
Carnaval is almost here, valley-dweller my andean highlander
Festival of the valley, girl from Humahuaca to sing with
[three traditional folkloric instruments] to dance with
Valley dweller, person from Humahuaca
Valley dweller, person from Humahuaca
