Quechua Poetry: Ucsha Urcuman

In the páramo I went searching for you
English translation by Avi Tuschman

To the hills I went looking for you
because it was there I saw you first
you were playing with the wind
perhaps waiting for me.

There I found you, huambrita
and in that same place I lost you
jealousy kills, lonquita,
now what will become of me?

To the hill I return, huambrita
intending to see you once more,
and if this time I find you, longuita,
I will never let you go
