The Dance of the Miner
My minorityIt resists, resists
I have a myth that makes me calm
I have a ritual that makes me rich
I have a dance that makes me holy
I have a Siku (1) that is blessed
The mining industry
It took my companions (2)
Cry my heart (2)
Without my friend
My dignity in currency
Wears out like a wheel
It rolls like the earth
Spinning badly injured
But when there is carnival
My saynata (3)
It will heal me
Song of the miner (2)
Music of the miner (2)
1 Traditional Aymara musical instrument
2 In Quechua
3 traditional ceremonial mask
