El Condor Pasa
A folk lyrics version from the Quechua, the official language of the Inca Empire:

Oh mighty Condor owner of the skies
take me home, up into the Andes,
Oh mighty Condor. I want go back to my native place to be with my Inca brothers, that is what I miss the most, Oh mighty Condor.

Wait for me in Cuzco, in the main plaza, so we can take a walk in Machu Picchu and Huayna-Picchu
