Zamba de Lozano - Lyrics - Illapu
Illapu are a Chilean folk and andean musical ensemble that was formed in 1971 in Antofagasta, in northern Chile, by the brothers José Miguel, Jaime, Andrés and Roberto Márquez Bugueño. A later addition to the group was Osvaldo Torres. Illapu comes from the Quechua word meaning "Lightning Bolt". Their music was Andean folk. In 1981, because of the repression under the Pinochet regime, they were forced into exile - going first to France and later Mexico City. In 1988, due to the improved political climate, they returned to Chile. Their 1993 album , which contained the hit single "Lejos del Amor", won 7 platinum records.

Cielo arriba Jujuy,
Camino a la puna me pongo a cantar,
Flores de los tolares,
Bailan las cholitas el carnaval
Y en los ojos de las llamas
Me mira solita la luna de sal
Y están los remolinos,
En los arenales déle bailar
Ramito de albahaca,
Niña Yolanda ¿dónde estarás?
Atrás se quedó alumbrando su claridad.
Flores de los tolares,
Bailan las cholitas el carnaval
Jujeñita, quien te vio
En la puna triste te vuelve a querer;
Mi pena se va al aire
Y en el aire llora su padecer
Me voy yendo, volveré,
Los tolares solos se han vuelto a quedar;
Se quemará en tus ojos,
Zamba enamorada del carnaval
