Father Sun, all life on earth
Threatens to lose itself,
And the plants refuse to grow.
Please listen to me before it's too late.
I look to you for hope.
Send the waters of your skies
That give life to the deserts.
Pity me, Pacha Mama (mother earth)
Give me water; I am thirsty,
And send my cloud sisters
To cover us with wind and rain.
.......an Inca poem

Vengo de una Raza de montañas altas, I come from a race from high mountains,
Vengo de la cuna del Inca y del Sol.. I was born in a cradle of the Inca and the Sun.
No puedo olvidar a aquellos hermanos, I cannot forget those brothers
Que perdieron la vida; cual fue la razon? Who lost their lives; what was the reason?
Raza milenaria que no estás perdida, An ancient race that is not lost,
Vive y se despide con sangre y sudor. We live from the spirit, blood, and sweat
Vuelvo siempre al nido donde he nacido, We always return to the nest where we were born.
Vuelvo con mi pueblo que me vio crecer,I will come back with the people who saw me raised,
Donde soy dueño de alturas y valles, Where I own the heights and the prairies,
De muchas leyendas, que bellas que son. And many legends which are so beautiful.
