"Llorando se fue" (English: They left in tears) is a Bolivian folk song recorded by Los Kjarkas in 1981 on the album Canto a la mujer de mi pueblo[3] and released as a B-side of the "Wa ya yay" single in 1982.
According to Gonzalo Hermosa, Los Kjarkas had based "Llorando se fue" on a small, nostalgic Andean melody.
