Morning medicine song with pāpā. I sing most mornings, medicine songs as part of morning daily prayer, to bring the bodies into harmony
Cuñaq 🌊
A traditional Peruvian hualina (water song), originally written by Miguel Molina.
“Kunyaq cocha” is a lagoon in the highlands of Marcahuasi, Peru — said to be the place where water is born. Every year, festivities are held in honour of the water that flows down from that lagoon. A hualina is a song composed in honour of water, traditionally performed at the Champería — the annual festival of new water.
From Cuñaq it comes, the little water meandering
Through the swirling ditches, towards our lives
Of singing hualinas and at the same time crying
All my sorrows are over
Pachamama is celebrating
A happy little star told me —
Sing, little singer, to the water
To the mother water, Cuñaq
May we all be blessed with the purest and most pristine waters. May we care for water as we would like to be cared for ourselves. 🙏
