Ampisunas Amorani

Tamara Castro's song 'Ampisunas Amorani' is a beautiful blend of Quechua and Spanish, weaving a tale of love, healing, and mysticism. The lyrics speak of a deep connection between the singer and the person they are addressing, who is suffering from an ailment. The repeated phrase 'tra la ra' adds a rhythmic, almost incantatory quality to the song, enhancing its mystical atmosphere.

The song begins with the singer acknowledging the other's pain and expressing a desire to heal them. The use of Quechua phrases like 'onckos sirisckayquit’ yachas' and 'ampisunaas amorani' suggests a cultural and spiritual approach to healing, rooted in indigenous traditions. The mention of a 'huarmi bruja' (witch woman) and the idea of 'brujearía' (witchcraft) further emphasize the mystical elements, hinting at the use of traditional remedies and spiritual practices.

As the song progresses, the singer's touch is described as bringing 'escalofríos' (chills), indicating a powerful, almost magical effect. This touch is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, aiming to heal the person from within. The lyrics 'sabiendo que enferma estabas, para curarte he venido' (knowing you were sick, I came to heal you) and 'pensando que no tenías remedio, te lo he traído' (thinking you had no remedy, I brought it to you) highlight the singer's dedication and love, portraying a selfless act of care and devotion.

The song's blend of languages and cultural references creates a rich tapestry that speaks to the universal themes of love, healing, and the mystical connections that bind us. It is a poignant reminder of the power of love and traditional wisdom in overcoming life's challenges.
