Hermanos kakuy

People sayCuenta la gente
Out in the fieldsAllá en el pago
What happenedLo sucedido
Between two brothersEntre dos hermanos

When he was coming backCuando el volvía
From the long dayDe la jornada
Water and foodAgua y comida
He could never findJamás encontraba

One day tiredCansado un día
Of putting up with itDe soportarla
He took her to the mountainsLa llevó al monte
To punish herPara castigarla

With a sad cryCon triste grito
She calls for her brotherBusca a su hermano
Kakuy is his nameKakuy se llama
And he lives in sorrowY vive penando

Under a treeSobre de un árbol
She was waitingElla esperaba
While the young manMientras el mozo
Walked away from thereDe allí se alejaba

To her callsA sus reclamos
The wind carried themLos llevó el viento
And in her throatY en su garganta
Were moans and lamentsQuejumbre y lamento

From this legendDe esta leyenda
We must not forgetNo hay que olvidarse
That brothersQue los hermanos
Should always love each otherNo dejen de amarse
