Beautiful Maiden (Sumac ñusta)

By

Beautiful maiden
Thy brother
Thine urn
Is now breaking.
And for this cause
It thunders and lightens
Thunderbolts also fall.
But thou, royal maiden
With thy clear waters
Dropping rain
And sometimes also
Will give us hail
Will give us snow
The creator of the world
Pachacamac
Viracocha
For this duty
Has appointed you
Has created you.

1Kilku Warak’a’s idiosyncratic use of the consonant “c” in place of the customary “ch” in his Quechua orthography is noteworthy here. In this case, “qucha” becomes “quca” with this substitution.

My words cannot conjure the things you do
my idle tongue
writes towards a vanishing

My words cannot enclose all that you are
a trembling of thorns
absolutes exist nowhere

My words are no match for your retreat
give voice to my affliction
say fire
