The lyrics of Uchpa's song Kusi Kusun, which is sung entirely in Quechua, speak to the beauty and power of nature, and the joy that can be found in being close with it. The opening lines of the song repeat the phrase "Kusikusun asikusun yaw," which roughly translates to "I'm overcome with joy, I'm so happy." The next two lines speak of the mountains, or "unquyta," and the pleasure that can be found in looking at them, or "kusikuyllañam qatin a."
The next verse repeats the same two phrases, followed by the lines "Raskiykamuy utqaykumuy yaw" and "kay miskiwan tusuywan," which roughly translate to "I'm drawn to the sunrise" and "the sweet smell of the flowers." The final verse repeats the opening lines one more time before ending with a question, "kawituyman aw?" which can be interpreted as "What shall we do now?"
Overall, the message of the song seems to be one of gratitude for the beauty of the natural world and a call to enjoy it while we can. It encourages listeners to take pleasure in simple things like the mountains and flowers, and to appreciate the magic of a sunrise. The repeated phrase "Kusikusun asikusun yaw" reinforces the idea that joy and happiness can be found all around us, if we're open to it.

Madre no llores
Mañana o pasado regresaré
Padre no llores
Mañana o pasado regresaré
Nos alegraremos, reiremos
Olvidando, solo reírnos
Oye Corre rápido
Con esta dulce canción solo vailaremos
Oye ven a vailar quiza esta noche...
Sigo en práctica, algunas cosas los estoy plasmando en tik tok para no olvidar 😊😊

Impresionante, hermoso. La combinación ritmo folk (supongo es el ritmo) con el idioma quechua es magistral

No se cuantos años tiene Uchpa tocando, pero hace mucho, mucho tiempo que los escucho... y cada vez que los oigo, me quedo pegado con ellos y paso de canción en canción... lo máximo Uchpa, gracias por la buena música... y en quechua todavía!!!
