Lyrics
Ábrete florcita de los cuatro vientos yari
Olorocita, perfumera doctorcita
Estrellita de siete flechas runancita
Ay, danzaremos hasta las claras del día
Para escuchar la voz de los que ya se fueron
Son tus aguas que le dan la vida a mi pueblo
Ay, las que brotan por mis ojos tristemente
Porque en mi tierra ya no se le canta al agua
Son las que brotan por tus ojos Pachamama
Y reverdecen en mi quebrada del tigre
Llena de alegría danza la muerte a mi lado
Chuma, borracherita, pinta gente yari
Cuatro otorongos bravos llegan a la fiesta
Se alza en el cielo el brillo azul de la flor blanca
Camino rojo, solo Dios sabe si vuelvo
Translation
Oh little flower, open up to the four winds and spread your fragrance everywhere
You are the healer, perfumer and the aroma that fills this world
You shine bright like a star with seven arrows and bring joy to the people
Let's dance until the break of dawn
To hear the voices of those who have departed
It's your waters that give life to my people
And it's those same waters that make me cry with sadness
Because in my land, people no longer sing to the water
And it's those same waters that flow from your eyes, Mother Earth
And they bring life to my thirsty land
Death dances happily by my side
The Chuma (traditional drink) gets people drunk and full of life
Four brave jaguars come to the party
The blue shine of the white flower rises in the sky
On this red path, only God knows if I'll return
