Oh mallow root, mallow root
\nacross these windswept heights,
\nmy lover roams<\/p>\n
Once young,
\nthe sun was on the rise
\nand now,
\nthe sun descends<\/p>\n
The clouds advance, the winds they swell
\nThe people come, from sorrows they come
\nWith the rains they come, with the winds they come
\nand thus, for you, they come<\/p>\n
Across the sapphire river, across the Pukara plain
\nIn search of you I shall
\nwalk on, and so, walk on<\/p>\n
Near here, chikaylla you might come
\nSo far, karumanta, you can\u2019t wish to flee<\/p>\n
Could that be you, just there
\nbehind me?
\nand me here still searching
\nfor you<\/p>\n
And I will go down river
\nAnd I will go upriver
\nWhere my love shall I find you?<\/p>\n
Traversing the pampas of Oruro
\ncrossing Bolivia
\nsearching,
\ngathering just dahlias
\nweeping,
\nwalking<\/p>\n
I shall leave Oruro now
\nmy woven aguayo
\nlost
\ncarrying cloth for all things
\nwhat reason to remain?<\/p>\n
And high above, Condor
\nsoars
\nhis white shawl tightly tied
\nabove sacred Illimani\u2019s peak
\nhe ascends
\nWhere is it now he is off to?<\/p>\n
And so you are my only
\nAnd so I am yours only
\nAnd so we shall be together
\nweeping
\non<\/p>\n
I shall steal you away, leading you
\nWithin my heart, leading you
