Translation carried out with the assistance of Georgina Maldonado Gómez:

Little bird(s) at Saksaywaman,
What are you crying about? (repeat)
You are not me. So, you have no reason to cry.
Without a mother, without a father (repeat)

Little fish under the rock
Protected by a rough/dry rock (repeat)
When your dear protection runs out,
Me with a mother, me with a father (I'll be your mom and dad) (repeat)

I'm crying bitterly
Over a girl who doesn't love me (repeat)
She tells me that I'm a drunk
But she doesn't know why I drink (repeat)

Women's judgment
Isn't worth anything in this life (repeat)
They say I love you. They say I adore you.
And soon, they say goodbye. (repeat)

(Coda)

On top of Saksaywaman (repeat)
We met just one time (repeat)
And everyone talked about that/us (repeat)
Saying that we met each other all the time up there. (repeat)
