Tambobambino

Country: Peru
Language: Quechua
Lyrics:
Tambobambino maqt'acha, parachallapin purichian,
Flautachallantan fukustin, charangochantaq kunkanpi.
ˇWifalitay wifala, wifala, wifala, wifala! Translation:
A boy from Tambobamba is walking in the rain,
Playing his flute, with his musical charango hanging from his neck.
What a foolish little boy! What a silly little boy!
