Hermano Coplero

My land is praying for you
Felipe corpos, vidala
Guitar of water and wood
Soulful cricket

Wounded puma in the chest
Trail of honey siesta
Thorny thirsty sands
The farmers cry for you

The farmers cry for you
Mud pot
Humble wine from the mill
Pain of ancient roads

My land is praying for you
Felipe corpos, vidala
Guitar of water and wood
Soulful cricket

In what piece of time
Deep into my town at night
I will find you singing
Orko shalako coplero

What love will be waiting for you
To touch your handkerchief
And feel you in serenades
Return like the morning star

Return through Salavina
Sweet Quichuar with your people
And stay in their haven
Where death is a song

My land is praying for you
Felipe corpos, vidala
Guitar of water and wood
Soulful cricket
