I’m a Chasqui
They call me “Chasqui”;
My Sapa Inca asked me so I run.
Trails of mountains they burn.
Sun of the rays drop,
Chasqui never stop.
I’m a slave of the rising sun.
I’m a Chasqui,
I’m a Chasqui;
To no one, I am the one.
Yet I’ll show you,
how to touch the sun.
Feel it’s flames,
so we shall burn.
I’m a Chasqui,
I’m a Chasqui;
Miles over miles, I run.
I’m a Chasqui,
Miles over miles, I run.
—
They call me “Chasqui”;
My sweat is my wieght when I run.
This world, everything is one.
The moonrays speaks,
Chasqui only seeks.
Leaving footprints as I run.
I’m a Chasqui,
I’m a Chasqui;
To no one, I am the one.
I’ll hide you,
when night melts a sun.
Hide from sky,
so you won’t burn.
I’m a Chasqui,
I’m a Chasqui;
Miles over miles, I run.
I’m a Chasqui,
Miles over miles, I run.
Miles over miles, I run.
I run.
—
I’m a Chasqui,
I’m a Chasqui;
In my heart you’re the sun.
I’m a Chasqui,
Miles over miles, I run.
Days after days, I run.
I run.
