Collita sin quebradales
Perdida por la ciudad
Tu caja castiga el aire
Lastima tu soledad
Tilcara, quedó en el valle
Y el cielo cayó en el mar
De piedra tu gesto grave
Solito tu carnaval
Lejos la raíz, silban los coyuyos
Musiqueros del abril
Y américa está en tu sangre
Crecida con un cantar
De crenchas de crin salvaje
De besos de piel frutal
De orgullo fiero del ande
Y soles de pedregal
Y ay, cholita, ahí
Qué altos y qué oscuros
Rascacielos con su gris
Descubren tu voz de nadie
Tu voz, pimpollo cerril
Calles, nada más
Silba con la quena de la puna el aimará
Y con terquedad de poncho
Cruzando por la ciudad
Usas tan negros los ojos
Que el pelo, ya sin peinar
Le fue poniendo sus moños
De piedra a la soledad
Y ay, mi cholitay
Guaca del tesoro milagrero que llevas
Lavado de agüita el rostro
Cruzando por la ciudad
Cruzando por la ciudad
Cruzando por la ciudad
