My Heart Suffers When I Remember My Parents


Heartpounding Chirpaq by Reencuentros from Indian's Vision CD

The words of this song is in Quechua which is an ancient language spoken by the Incas and Peruvians of South America.

Unofficial translated lyrics:
Kayna punchau turonero
Sapallaypi waqaskani
Mana pipas q'awarillaskan

Waqallarkani sapay
Llakillarkani sapay
Q'uyay mamayta
Yuyarillaspa

Maypillaraq sunquchallay
Maypiñaraq ñawiruruy
Maytaq cuna
Waqaysiwanchu

Waqaysiwanchu ñawiy
Llakisiwanchu sunquy
Tayta mamayta
Yuyarillaqtiy

Translated in English as best as possible.

Yesterday I was crying
as nobody saw me
I cried lonely
and I felt pain when I was
remembering my poor mother
Where is my heart?
where are my eyes?
They are already sad with me
Don't cry with me
my eyes cry
my heart suffers when I'm
remembering my parents
