and two steps back.

Mare Mare died
on Panapana hill
and the Indians buried him
up there in the savannah.

Mariquita was her name
Mare Mare's woman,
an old Indian who ruled
many towns and places.

Mare Mare's death
was a painful thing
through the skies were heard
the cries of his wife.

Mare Mare's body
they take it to bury
through the air it goes flying
a huge vulture.
