  • (english translation of aymara narration)
  • In ancient times great fear arose
  • Among the inhabitants of
  • Tiahuanacu, the spaniards were
  • Coming into their lands. the indians
  • Retreated to their houses in great fear
  • And closed themselves in total
  • Isolation without food or water.
  • They sat down in great sorrow with
  • Knees bent and heads bowed (they
  • Are called chullpas) and died.
  • They were buried in this position.
  • Others froze to death in a standing
  • Position like stone monoliths
  • (monolitos). the indians who live
  • There today are very poor - no
  • Clothes or food. they seek a better
  • Life and move to the cities where they
  • Learn to read, write and do any kind
  • Of work. they earn money and dont
  • Want to return to their homelands.
  • Night calls through the air
  • Reaching for its solitude
  • Dusk lures like a lyre beckoning
  • The quietude
  • In state of constant commotion
  • Full of rage and heartless devotion
  • Theres a need that burns within to
  • Fly away, just fly away
  • Soft winds kiss the land
  • Silent and in gratitude
  • Children hand in hand
  • Comprehend the quietude
  • Through a maze of fear
  • And compulsion
  • Theres a race for the power
  • And fortune
  • Still a need within cries out to
  • Fly away, just fly away
  • People rush, people flee, they
  • Move so fast that they cannot see
  • Work all day, up all night, they
  • Push and hide all the joy inside
  • Like a wave that breathes in
  • The ocean and the mountains
  • Peak with emotion
  • Theres a need that calls within
  • To find a way, just find a way
  • Time to leave and fly away,
  • To take a leave and castaway
  • To leave the worries and the dismay,
  • Its time to go,
  • Its time to play its...
  • Time now to fly away,
  • Take leave and castaway
  • To fly...
  • The moon it guides my way,
  • Winds blow to show the way
  • To fly...
  • Dawn breaks, day descends
  • With a calming attitude
  • Shadows fall and bend
  • Welcome in the quietude
