Un pajarillo vino a posarse bajo mi arbolito,
era de noche, yo no podía ver su dibujito,
se lamentaba de que una jaula lo hizo prisionero,
que las plumillas, una por una, se las arrancaron.
Quise curarlo con mi cariño, mas el pajarillo
guardó silencio como una tumba hasta que amaneció.
Llegan los claros de un bello día, el viento sacudió
todo el ramaje de mi arbolito y allí se descubrió
que el pajarillo tenía el alma más herida que yo,
y por las grietas que le sangraban su vida se escapó,
en su garganta dolido trino llora su corazón,
le abrí mi canto y en mi vihuela lo repitió el bordón.
Ya mejoraba, ya sonreía con mi medicina,
cuando una tarde llegó una carta de su jaula antigua,
en mi arbolillo brotaron flores negras y moradas
porque el correo vino a buscarlo, mis ojos lloraban.
Desaparece, me deja en prenda toda su amargura,
se lleva ufano mi flor más tierna, mi sol y mi luna.
En el momento de su partida, en mi cuello un collar
dejó olvidado, y como Aladino yo le empecé a frotar.
Pasan minutos, pasan las horas y toda una vida
por el milagro de aquella joya lo he visto regresar,
con más heridas, con más silencio y con garras largas,
sus buenos días mi piel desgarra con ácida maldad.
Ave que llega sin procedencia y no sabe dónde va
es prisionera en su propio vuelo, ave mala será,
ave maligna, siembra cizaña, bebe, calla y se va,
cierra tu puente, cierra tu canto, tira la llave al mar.
Un pajarillo vino llorando, lo quise consolar,
toqué sus ojos con mi pañuelo, pupila de águila.

Inti-Illimani è un ensemble musicale latinoamericano di musica folk, formatosi in Cile nel 1967 da un gruppo di studenti universitari. La band ha acquisito grande popolarità in patria per la canzone «Venceremos», che divenne l'inno del governo della Unità Popolare di Salvador Allende. Al momento del colpo di stato cileno del 11 settembre 1973, Inti-Illimani si trovava in tour in Europa e non è potuto tornare in Cile, dove la loro musica era stata proibita dalla giunta militare al potere. In Europa, la musica del gruppo ha assunto un carattere più variegato, incorporando elementi di barocco europeo e altre forme musicali tradizionali ai suoi ricchi e colorati ritmi latinoamericani, creando una distintiva fusione di musica mondiale moderna. Inti-Illimani è forse il membro più conosciuto a livello internazionale del movimento della *nueva canción*. Il nome significa 'Sole dell'Illimani' in lingua aimara; l'Illimani è un monte nell'Ande boliviano. Tra i brani rappresentativi: «Venceremos», «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido», «La flor de la vida».
