lyrics

CHONKA WAKAN

Leh leh leh leh leh leh leh

Oyen! Miren! Muévan! Cuídense!
Que aquí está pasando
Una manada de caballos

Oyen, miren, muévan, cuídense
Que aquí está corriendo
Un arcoiris de caballos

Oyen, miren, muévan, cuídense
Que aquí está pasando
Una manada de caballos

Oyen, miren, muévan, cuídense
Que aquí ven perspirando
Un arcoiris de caballos

Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Chonka wakan
Corriendo libres sobre la piel de la madre tierra
Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Chonka wakan
Besando la piel de la Pachamama

Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Agradeciendo tanta belleza
Agradeciendo esta hermosura
Agradeciendo la Pachamama

English Translation:
CHONKA WAKAN (Sacred Horse)

Leh leh leh leh leh leh leh

Listen! Look! Move! Watch yourselves!
Here comes a herd of wild horses

Listen! Look! Move! Watch yourselves!
Here comes a rainbow of galloping wild horses

Listen! Look! Move! Watch yourselves!
Here comes a band of wild horses

Listen! Look! Move! Watch yourselves!
Here comes a rainbow of sweating wild horses

Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Chonka wakan
Running free over the skin of mother earth
Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Chonka wakan
Kissing the skin of Pachamama

Leh leh leh leh leh leh
Giving thanks for so much beauty
Giving thanks for all this beauty
Giving thanks to Pachamama
