To the melody of “Pajaro Viejo”
Lyrics
Machu pichinku takini takini
Kay allpa paqarisqaykita
Qhawash kasunki
(2X)
Takiy, takiy, takiy kamuway
Takiykamuway yuyarichimuway
(2X)
Intipa warmi wawakunanpunin kanchis
Killapa qari wawankunapunin kanchis
Takiy, takiy, takiy kamuway,
Takiykamuway yuyarichimuway
(2X)
Intipa warmi wawakunan kanchis
Killapa qari wawankunan kanchis
Kay allpa paqarisqaykita wiñasqaykita
Translation
Old bird, sing, sing
This is the land you were born on
You are watched
Sing, sing, sing to me
Sing to me, remind me
That we are all daughters of the sun
That we are all sons of the moon
This earth has birthed and grown you
