Chakana o La Cruz del Sur es el nombre en Kichwa de una epoca del año en la que las estrellas más brillantes de la constelación Orión se encienden y forman una cruz escalonada en el cielo. Los Kichwa creen que es cuando se une el mundo de arriba, el mundo de abajo y nuestro mundo y marca un año nuevo para ellos. / Chakana or the Southern Cross is the Kichwa name for the time of the year when the brightest stars in the Orion constellation ignite a laddered pathway in the sky forming a cross. The Kichwa peoples believed that this is the time when the worlds above and below united with our world and pinpointed the beginning of their new year.
lyrics
I heard this was how it all began
I’d fallen down baby on the road you see
I stumbled and it hurt me so
The ladder to the stars seemed far to me.
You crawled the earth so dry
The dust it burnt ‘til you’d cry
You got the better of time
The earth turned, baby, in a blink of an eye.
Move on, little world.
Little world.
Well I keep on climbing.
Deep in the fire girl
Seems so strange you’re walking too.
Everything in my mind
Wanna make it home.
Everything inside
Wanna make it home.
Everything inside
Need to make it home.
Four roads coming to meet
Above, below and where we are
You climbed to help me see
The blind just feel and find the star.
Feel the light to make it home
Deep in the fire girl
Seems so strange you’re walking too.
Above it’s just a thing that you see.
Below it’s just a thing that you know.
Right here it’s just a thing that you feel.
