Brothers Kakuy

Juan Carlos Carabajal

Hermanos kakuy

Cuenta la gente
Allá en el pago
Lo sucedido
Entre dos hermanos

Cuando el volvía
De la jornada
Agua y comida
Jamás encontraba

Cansado un día
De soportarla
La llevó al monte
Para castigarla

Con triste grito
Busca a su hermano
Kakuy se llama
Y vive penando

Sobre de un árbol
Ella esperaba
Mientras el mozo
De allí se alejaba

A sus reclamos
Los llevó el viento
Y en su garganta
Quejumbre y lamento

De esta leyenda
No hay que olvidarse
Que los hermanos
No dejen de amarse

Brothers Kakuy

People say
Out in the fields
What happened
Between two brothers

When he was coming back
From the long day
Water and food
He could never find

One day tired
Of putting up with it
He took her to the mountains
To punish her

With a sad cry
She calls for her brother
Kakuy is his name
And he lives in sorrow

Under a tree
She was waiting
While the young man
Walked away from there

To her calls
The wind carried them
And in her throat
Were moans and laments

From this legend
We must not forget
That brothers
Should always love each other
