Lyrics of ‘Harawi’ with English translation.
| ¡Maytaq kay! Runan Dios. Diosmi runa. Kayqaya Pacha muyuq apu mayukuna arañapa aswan llañu llikan hinallaña, mana imapas kankumanchu hina mastarikunku. Diosmi runa [Diosmi. Diosmi runa.] [Diosmi runa Diosmi (3×)] | What is this? God is man, man is God. Here are the powerful rivers that divided the world, they are no longer, they have been turned into the most delicate thread that the spider spins. Man is God. [is God. Man is God.] [Man is God is God (3×)] |
| Dios Yaya, Dios Churi, Dios Espíritu Santo, manañan kankichikñachu; Hanaq Pachapin kachkani. Gracias taytay, runa. Diospa mana churin, taytan. | God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, you are no longer; I am in heaven Thank you, father, man. Not the child of God, his father. |
| [Spoken] ¿Qué es esto? Dios es hombre, el hombre es Dios. He aquí … los …. ríos, los adorados, que partían el mundo, se han convertido en el más delgado hilo que teje la araña. [¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué es esto?] El hombre es Dios. [Dios es hombre.] | What is this? God is man, man is God. Here are the rivers, the worshiped ones that divided the world, they have been turned into the most delicate thread that the spider spins. What is this? What is this? Man is God. God is man. |
