OLLANTA.
[Act II.

Rumi-Ñahui.

Ñan Apu Ynca Yuyayqui
Hunttasccataña yacharccan
Chaicca huchaypunin carccan
Rumincani cay camayqui
Rumin ñittirccan tucuyta
Rumihuanmi llocsircani
Payhuan macana curcani
Chaymi atirccancu suyuita
Huc llatan mañacuscayqui
Saqquehuascay ñoccallaman
Noccan risac pucaranman
Llaquen ñocca aisamusccayqui.

Great Ynca, thou knowest
All that has happened,
And what are my sins.
Although I am a stone,
I will obey thee as a stone.
I went forth with a stone,
And with it I fought,
Though they held the province.
There is only one thing
That I would ask;
It is that I may go to the fortress;
I promise to gain a victory.


Ccapac Yupanqui.

Ccampan chaycca ruranayqui
Chay sutiquita hoccaripuy
Mana chayri cacharipuy
Suyuta: hinan camayqui.

Here is what thou must do
To recover thy name—
Thou must not abandon
The province. Such is thy duty.


Uillac Umu.

Pisi ppunchaupin ricunqui
Anti-Suyuta chaquiquipi
Hinan tincuni quipuyquipi
Utccay utccay rumi tunqui.

Thou shalt see, in a few days,
Anti-suyu at thy feet;
So I find in the quipus.
Fly! Fly! Rumi-tunqui.57
