Camino Del Indio

Indian Path

(Andean song)

Little path of the Indian
Colla trail
Sown with stones
Little path of the Indian
That joins the valley with the stars

Path that walked
From south to north
My old race
Before the Pachamama darkened in the mountains

Singing on the hill
Crying in the river
In the night grows
The sorrow of the Indian

The Sun and the Moon
And this song of mine
Kissed your stones
Indian path

In the mountain night
The quena cries its deep nostalgia
And the little path knows
Who the chola is
That the Indian calls

Rises in the hill
The sorrowful voice of the baguala
And the path laments
Being the culprit
Of the distance

Singing on the hill
Crying in the river
In the night grows
The sorrow of the Indian

The Sun and the Moon
And this song of mine
Kissed your stones
Indian path
