Mamacha Simona

I climb to your peaks and feel that life is closer
there is a hidden truth in my head
I feel the path that destiny has drawn for me
it's like the path my ancestor has built
clear and strong, made of hot stone
hot like the soul of my people
Andean town, ancient and millenary
that has never forgotten that the earth created it.

Because this stone is alive
a heart beats under this silvered back
I feel the intense call, waqay!*
internal, I have heard your voice of wind,
that's why Mamacha Simona, apu,*
patron protector give us your blessing
give us the strength, the courage and temper
to be able to continue with our function.

Chorus
There is a reason to say what I believe
don't ask me why
it's just what I feel

I feel that the culture of death dominates us
it's not a coincidence, it's part of the strategy
a depressed world is easy to handle
because the business is in selling happiness.
That's why we must fight, struggle,
be soldiers of vital energy
just as the Andean man teaches
from whom we have learned all this.
