[Verse 1]
See how the water cures
Slowly cleansing like a river

See how the air cures
Slowly singing into your ear

See how the fire cures
Slowly burning the neglect within you

As the earth raises its voice in grieving song today

[Chorus]
May the Willkamayu carry each note of the melody to gladden your heart
May the apu Linli exhale a blessing every afternoon
May the Ch’eqta Qaqa bring father sunbeam that he may teach
May Mama Ñusta care for my little children in the darkness

[Verse 2]
See how the water cures
Slowly cleansing like a river

See how the air cures
Slowly singing into your ear

See how the fire cures
Slowly burning the neglect within you
As the earth raises your grieving heart

[Chorus]
May the Willkamayu carry each note of the melody to gladden your heart
May the apu Linli exhale a blessing every afternoon
May the Ch’eqta Qaqa bring father sunbeam that he may teach
May Mama Ñusta care for my little children in the darkness

May the Willkamayu carry each note of the melody to gladden your heart
May the apu Linli exhale a blessing every afternoon
May the Ch’eqta Qaqa bring father sunbeam that he may teach
May Mama Ñusta care for my little children in the darkness

May the Willkamayu carry each note of the melody to gladden your heart
May the apu Linli exhale a blessing every afternoon
May the Ch’eqta Qaqa bring father sunbeam that he may teach
May Mama Ñusta care for my little children in the darkness
