I am a son of the Sun, going to those of my race.
I'm one of the children of the Sun, going to my people
I'm a child of the sun, coming for a purpose.
I'�ve come to find and gather the people of the Inca nation.
My purpose is to teach our values, and our Quechua language.
Inca child, like myself, in what country are you crying?
Child of the Sun, like myself, listen to my cry
If you listen to my calling, come back to our homeland and culture.
If you listen my calling, come back with our people and remake our nation.
I want to teach my people our traditions:
Don'�t steal, don'�t be lazy, don'�t lie, and don'�t be dirty.
Neither steal, nor be lazy, so that we may live well.
Be truthful and clean, so we won'�t be lost.
Inca people, you are alone in this world, hold my hand.
Inca child, you are not part of this world, come home with me.
If you come and hold my hand, I'�ll take you to our homeland.
If you come with me, I�'ll teach you our Inca language.
Death o death, do not take me away yet,
I still have a long way to go, I'm searching for my people.
I still have a long way to go, teaching the Inca way.

My town of Ushua, you gave me life and my personality, regretfully I left you;
now I�m coming back to you, hoping that you my beloved town still remembers me.
My feet started to hurt me, crossing up & down the steep mountain of Vitama,
No one waits for me in Ushua, just my memories are bringing me back to you. I�ve dreamed of you every night for years.
Now I arrived; I�m here, my town of Ushua, I�m already wandering, walking in the main square of Chakapata.
My parents and family had left, and I see my home is in ruins now.
That is why I�m crying here, looking around my town of Ushua;
I cry, remembering my family & friends who used to live here.
The people in Ushua who I used to know, where can I find you?
My childhood playmates, which far land you have gone to.
I went down to Kaqa, I went to the cornfields of Pampachackra to look for you,
I went up to next town of Corculla, thinking that I would find my people there.
I also walked through the streets of the neighboring town of Oyolo, hoping to find any of my friends or relatives there.
My town of Ushua, I have seen you, my place has forgotten me; this evening I�m leaving, I�m going away again.
If I leave in day time, I would make us cry, that is why I�m leaving in the night, walking under the full moon.
My heart doesn�t want to leave, my eyes don�t stop weeping,
My heart doesn�t want to leave, and my eyes can�t stop crying,
My tears are running down, covering my face as I go away.

Mi querido pueblo de Ushua, me hiciste crecer, luego por circunstancias de la vida me alej� de ti.
Ahora estoy regresando mi querido pueblo de Ushua, con la esperanza que todav�a te acuerdas de mi.
Mis pies ya empezaron a dolerme de tanto caminar, bajar y subir �ste enpinado cerro de Vitama.
Mis parientes no me esperan en Ushua, s�lo mis recuerdos me est�n haciendo regresar, so�� todas las noches,

Es por eso que estoy llorando, recordando mis familias y parientes que viv�an en Ushua.
Gente de Ushua, de aquellos a�os , �d�nde se encuentran?

Les busqu� en los ba�os termales de Kaja y tambi�n ya fu� al maizal de Pampachacra.
Ya sub� al pueblo de Corculla, creyendo que iba a encontrarme all� con mi gente.
Tambi�n ya camin� por las calles de Oyolo, pensando que all� me iba a encontrar con mis parientes.
Mi pueblo de Ushua, ya te he visto y te he contemplado, �sta noche ya me estoy regresando;
si me voy en el d�a te har�a sollozar, por eso me voy en noche de luna.
Mi coraz�n no quiere irse y mis ojos no paran de llorar, mi coraz�n no se quiere ir, y mis ojos no cesan de llorar.
Mis l�grimas siguen moj�ndome la cara as� como me voy alejando de mi querido pueblo de Ushua.
Oh majestuoso C�ndor de los andes, llevame, a mi hogar, en los Andes,

Llakikay - Bolivian Taki
Hugo Gutierrez
Llaqtallay Inti, Aymaraqkuna runa simikunaq
Janaqpacha parakuna, kuntur pawaqkuna
Chay kutimuspa rikumuyllaytiyki chukchaykunapas
kanqa chay Illimani hina.
Walking with his llama, his woollen bag full of dried meet and dried potato,
Juanito is going to the festival in the plains.
Skirts of all colours at the festival in the plains.
Little guitars play the rhythms of the high platau.
After walking so long, he fell asleep in the shade of a tree.
During his short nap his llama ate his food
and in his dream his llama ate all the dried meat and potatoes.
Juanito was so surprised that his dream was true.
"Why have you eaten it all, little llama?
Now I'll be hungry, I'm going to complain to the everything around us.
When Juanito arrived at the festival, he began to sing and drink the local beer.
He invites his llama to share his drink from his bowl, to forget their hunger.
After drinking so many bowls, the llama and Juanito are completely drunk.
They now return to the village, happily, drunkenly, dancing and whistling.
Juanito - Canci�n Boliviana
Va marchando su llamita Juanito, su c'huspita lleno de charque y chu�o;
p'ala pampa fiesta, polleras multicolores, p'ala pampa fiesta sicuris charanguitos.
Despu�s de tanto caminar Juanito, a la sombra de un arbolito duerme y en su corto sue�o,
su llamita comi� el charque y en su corto sue�o su llamita comi� el chu�o.
Tanto fue la sorpresa de Juanito que su sue�o a sido realidad,
por que has comido, llamita, ahora tengo hambre, a la pampa Mamita ahora me voy a quejar.
Llegando a la pampa fiesta Juanito, va cantando y tomando chichita,
en su tutumita invita a su llamita, para olvidar todo el hambre que ten�an.
Machaditos la llamita y Juanito, despu�s de tomar tantas tutumitas,
ahora se van al pueblo, muy contentos y machados,
ahora se van al pueblo bailando y silvando.
