Siwar situy

Ima kusi paqarimun
siwarsituy, siwarsituy
k’anchary kunmi tutapas

para tukuykuy k’ochuy kuyri.
 
Siwarsituy, siwarsituy
sullari hanaq pachamanta,

achanqaray t’ika chuskanki
raura shiaq, raphapapanki.
 
Siwarsituy, siwarsituy
achanqaray t’ika chuskanki
raura shiaq, raphapapanki
siwarsituy, siwarsituy
achanqatuy.

Submitter's comments:

***Quechua, usually called Runasimi ("people's language") in Quechuan languages, is an indigenous language family spoken by the Quechua peoples, primarily living in the Peruvian Andes and highlands of South America. Derived from a common ancestral language, it is the most widely spoken language family of indigenous peoples of the Americas, with a total of probably some 8–10 million speakers. Approximately 25% (7.7 million) of Peruvians speak a Quechuan language. It is perhaps most widely known for being the main language family of the Inca Empire. The Spanish colonisers initially encouraged its use, but from the middle of their reign they suppressed it. However, Quechua ultimately survived, and variants are still widely spoken today.
