Lyrics

Desde los cerros
Viene esta zambita
Por eso la llamo yo
La viajerita, palomita
Por eso la llamo yo
La viajerita, palomita
Sendas de arena
Talco florido
Y un corazón que pena
Por un olvido, palomita
Y un corazón que pena
Por un olvido, palomita
¡ Ay viajerita ¡, el alba asoma
Trayendo de los cerros
Frescor y aroma, palomita
Trayendo de los cerros
Frescor y aroma, palomita
Yo soy de arriba
Soy del Cochuna
Ranchito sobre el río
Soles y luna, palomita
Ranchito sobre el río
Soles y luna, palomita
Hasta Alpachiri, voy los domingos
Y por la noche al cerro
Vuelvo solito, palomita
Y por la noche al cerro
Vuelvo solito, palomita
¡ Ay viajerita ¡, el alba asoma
Trayendo de los cerros
Frescor y aroma, palomita
Trayendo de los cerros
Frescor y aroma, palomita

Lyrics translation

From the hills
Here comes this zambita
That's why I call her.
La viajerita, palomita
That's why I call her.
La viajerita, palomita
Sand paths
Flower talc
And a heart that pangs
For a forgetfulness, dove
And a heart that pangs
For a forgetfulness, dove
Oh, Little Traveler, the dawn looms
Bringing from the hills
Freshness and aroma, popcorn
Bringing from the hills
Freshness and aroma, popcorn
I'm from above
I'm from Cochuna
Ranchito on the river
Suns and Moon, dove
Ranchito on the river
Suns and Moon, dove
Up to Alpachiri, I go on Sundays
And at night to the hill
I'll be right back, popcorn.
And at night to the hill
I'll be right back, popcorn.
Oh, Little Traveler, the dawn looms
Bringing from the hills
Freshness and aroma, popcorn
Bringing from the hills
Freshness and aroma, popcorn
