Tusuy Kusun Lyrics
Amaya pasaq chakaymanta
Que no pase por mi puente
Amaya pasaq tayta
que no pase padre
Yanay hamuy, tusuykusun
Mi Amor ven, bailemos
Taytay, achkirimuchkanñam
Padre, la noche está aclarando
Se oyen los cantos, me anuncia el viento
kusikuy, sunqu; manam manam, llanqachu kanqa
alégrate, corazón; no será, en vano
kusikuy, sunqu; allim allim, tayta Intipaq
alégrate, corazón; será bueno, para el padre SOL
Se oyen los cantos, me anuncia el viento
kusikuy, sunqu, que el camino ya está muy cerca
kusikuy, sunqu, que la noche ya está aclarando.
