Ollanta.

Lloccsihuay caymanta laicca22
Chay ccoyllur munacusccaicca
Ynticc cayllanpi ashuanta
Ccanchan chipchin sapanmanta

Be gone then, wizard.
My adored Cusi Coyllur
Is more bright than the Sun,
She has no rival.


Piqui Chaqui.

Chaycca cunan llocsimuscan
Huc machu ycha payachu
Huarmi mami ricchacuscan
Ycha cunainyqui apacchu
Payhuan cunay ñoccatacca
Cachapuni23 ñihuanmanri
Pi may caccpas huacchatacca.

If it should be possible
I will look out for some old man or woman,
I will be awake and try it.
I will convey you to her
And speak with her.
I will consent to be your messenger,
Though I am but a poor man.


Enter Uillac Umu,24 gazing on the Sun, wearing a black "uncu," and with a knife in his hand.

Uillac Umu.

Causacc Ynti, yupiquitan
Ullpuycuspa yupaychani
Ccan pacctaccmi huaccaychani
Huarancca llama hinatan.
Ppunchaynipi cconospa
Yahuarñinta ccaillai pi

O living Sun! I watch thy course
As thou marchest onwards.
For thee are now preparing
A thousand llamas
For the day of thy festival.
Their blood shall flow in thy presence.
