The Indian boy goes to the mountain to shepherd his flockSe va para la montaña el indiecito a pastorear
With his little herd of llamas, he goes further away from his homeCon su piño de llamitas, se va alejando de su hogar

Playing his music, he goes through the ravineTocando, va por la quebrada
His cheerful notes on the windSus notas alegres al viento
Singing, he descends the hill, joy in his heartCantando, baja el cerro, alegre lleva el corazón
Singing, he descends the hill, joy in his heartCantando, baja el cerro, alegre lleva el corazón

(Yee-hee-hee!)(¡Yi-hi-hi!)

Vibrating among the valleys of the high plateauVibrando entre los valles del altiplano
The wind carries its sad notes to the skyEl viento lleva al cielo sus notas tristes
Singing panpipes, dancing panpipesZampoñas cantando, zampoñas bailando
Your reeds, as they sound, give me love and the joy of beingTus cañas, al sonar, me dan amor y la alegría de ser
Panpipe player, when playing, panpipe player, when blowingZampoñero, al tocar, zampoñero al soplar
Daughter of the Sun you will be, Inca flower, divine pan fluteHija del Sol serás, incaica flor, flauta de pan divina
Singing panpipes, dancing panpipesZampoñas cantando, zampoñas bailando
Your reeds, when they sound, give me loveTus cañas, al sonar, me dan amor
