Lyrics
Piedra negra piedra blanca, piedra negra piedra blanca
Corbatita runancita, corbatita runancita
En la falda del cerrito, en la falda del cerrito
Danza danza curandera con tu pañuelito seda
En tus ojos yo te veo, en tus ojos yo te veo
Con el corazón te hablo, con el corazón te hablo
Ayahuasca curandera, chacrunita curandera
Cura cura cuerpecito, limpia limpia espiritito
En la cima del cerrito, en la cima del cerrito
Danza danza curandero, danza danza curandero

On the slopes of the hill,
dance dance healer with your silk handkerchief
In your eyes I see you
With the heart I speak to you
Healer Ayahuasca, healer chacruna
Cure cure the body, cleanse cleanse the spirit
On the top of the hill,
dance dance healer
