Note by Nadja: I wrote this song in 2007, it has been interpreted by different musicians who made their own versions and even changed some of the original lyrics to make it more romantic or folkloric, thanks to the music of Koguiwa, Cumbe, Warmi, Layla Kamlani and Veronica Arcila for making such beautiful covers of this song. 

The lyrics talk about the nostalgic feeling of the indigenous people and farmers in my country (Colombia)that have to abandoned their land to survive the war, “terratenientes” (paramilitaries) and the big companies taking over their territories; this song is about healing and about bringing your heart back to the waters of the land to be healed.

An homage to my ancestors, Indigenous people and farmers of Colombia!


YO LLEVO by Nadja Lopez-Vargas©

Yo llevo, yo llevo, llevo mi corazón x2

LLevo mi corazón a las aguas de aquel rio
para curar las penas de aquellos que se han ido
Llevo el corazón a que borre mi pasado
de todo lo que quise y la vida se ha llevado

Yo llevo, yo llevo llevo mi corazón x2

El alma de mis ancestros, sembrada en esa tierra
de ellos no me olvido el recuerdo se me queda
si pudiera dejar, mi corazón en el rio
y vivir en mi Tierra como cuando era niño

Yo llevo, yo llevo, llevo mi corazon x4

Canto ceremonial Yuwipi

Abuelo ven a verme, abuelo ven a verme, abuelo ven a verme.
Con la pipa del pueblo, Yo mando una voz.
Para así vivir con todas mis relaciones, Yo sigo mandando una voz.

Tunkasila wamayank uye, Tunkasila wamayank uyeyo, Tunkasila wamayank uyeyo.
Ikce wicasa ta canunpa wan Yuha hoye wayelo.
Mitakuye ob wani ktelo, Heyaya hoye wayelo.

This song is for calling the spirit of the medicine. It is usually sung in the first part of the ceremony.
Peyuta is the lakota word for medicine. Then we call the spirit of different medicines:
Grandmother Ayauaska all powerful
Grandmother all powerful
Grandmother healing everything

Grandfather Aguakoya (San Pedro)
Grandfather all powerful
Grandfather healing everything

Grandfather Weweteo (the Fire)
Grandfather all powerful
Grandfather illuminating everything

Great family
Great family all powerful
Great familty healing everything
