Translation
The Condor Passes (Great Condor)
Great condor, keeper of the skies,
Take me back home, high into the Andes,
Condor, condor...condor
I want to go back to my beloved land
To walk with my Inca brothers,
Condor, condor,...condor
Meet me in Cusco, in the main plaza,
That's what I hope for
In Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu
We can go walking there
Condor, condor...condor
Oh great condor, keeper of the skies,
Take me back home, high into the Andes,
Condor, condor...condor
I want to go back to my beloved land
To walk with my Inca brothers,
Condor, condor,...condor
Meet me in Cusco, in the main plaza,
That's what I hope for
In Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu
We can go walking there
Condor, condor...condor
Condor...

Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu are in Peru.
Machu Picchu is a world famous Incan site. Wayna Picchu is the mountain peak next to the sight. Its summit is visible in close camera views.
Wayna Picchu is the name of the artists. The name means 'young man'.
This song originates from Lima Peru in 1913.
The melody is by Daniel Alomia Robles, originally a love song of Juaja. The text is by Julio Baudouin y Paz.
It is the song of Proyecto Cóndor Pasa.
There are several different versions of this song in both Spanish and Quechuan.

I adore Wayna Picchu (the group). They really care for their people, and their beautiful soul is reflected in their music.
I would love a translation of "Shimiman" by this group.
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!

Wayna Picchu is the name of the mountain right next to the Macchu Picchu site in Peru.
This song and its lyrics predate Simon and Garfunkel's version.
