Hi,

Well, at that site they don't seem to know who wrote the lyrics either. We've pretty much established that Daniel Alomías Robles wrote the music for the zarzuela, based on folk music motives. Julio Baudouin y Paz apparently wrote lyrics for the zarzuela as a whole, but this specific piece seems to have started out without words.

It's a puzzle. So far we still have only Paul Simon as author, so where did the Quechuan and the two sets of Spanish lyrics come from? There must be some pre-Simon recordings; I wonder what attribution is on those.
