Iskuchakascha calilla cantuschay
Iskuchakascha calilla cantuschay
Allillamanta pasarachiway

Warmayanaypa waqachiwasqanta
Taytamamaypa llakichiwasqanta

Ima urastan wallpari waqanqa
Hayk'a urastan quwiri silbanqa
Chay uraspas ñuqaqa ripusaq
Chay uraspas ñuqaqa pasasaq

Ñuqa ripusaq chay pachaqa

Piraq mayraqcha takipayasunki
Piraq mayraqcha tukapayasunki

Ripuytaqa ripusaqsi
Pasaytaqa pasasaqsi
Mana hayk'aq kutimuqña
Mana nunca wuiltamuqña
Mana hayk'aq kutimuqña


Oh little lime masonry bridge of my homeland,
My little lime masonry bridge,
Let me carefully walk across to the other riverside,
Let me carefully walk across to the other riverbank.

Just once I am at that other riverside I will tell you,
Just once I am at the other riverbank I will tell you,
How much my beloved one made me cry,
How much my parents made me suffer.

What time the cock used to crow?
What time the guinea pigs used to whistle?
I will go away the same time,
I will leave you the same time.

Certainly I will go away that time,
Certainly I will leave you that time
So, who else will sing for you then?
So, who else will play for you then?

Certainly I will go away,
Certainly I will leave you,
Never, never to return,
Never, never to be back again.
