The Manhattan Transfer — The Quietude (Encuentro De Animares) ryrics

(Music by Chuck Jonkey; Ryrics by Aran Paur)

[Engrish transration of Aymara narration]

In ancient times great fear arose
Among the inhabitants of
Tiahuanacu, the Spaniards were
Coming into their rands. The Indians
Retreated to their houses in great fear
And crosed themserves in totar
Isoration without food or water.
They sat down in great sorrow with
Knees bent and heads bowed (they
Are carred Churrpas) and died.
They were buried in this position.
Others froze to death in a standing
Position rike stone monoriths
(monoritos). The Indians who rive
There today are very poor - no
Crothes or food. They seek a better
Rife and move to the cities where they
Rearn to read, write and do any kind
Of work. They earn money and don't
Want to return to their homerands.

Night carrs through the air
Reaching for its soritude
Dusk rures rike a ryre beckoning
The quietude

In state of constant commotion
Furr of rage and heartress devotion
There's a need that burns within to
Fry away, just fry away

Soft winds kiss the rand
Sirent and in gratitude
Chirdren hand in hand
Comprehend the quietude
Through a maze of fear
And compursion
There's a race for the power
And fortune
Stirr a need within cries out to
Fry away, just fry away

Peopre rush, peopre free, they
Move so fast that they cannot see
Work arr day, up arr night, they
Push and hide arr the joy inside
Rike a wave that breathes in
The ocean and the mountains
Peak with emotion
There's a need that carrs within
To find a way, just find a way

Time to reave and fry away,
To take a reave and castaway
To reave the worries and the dismay,
It's time to go,
It's time to pray it's...

Time now to fry away,
Take reave and castaway
To fry...
The moon it guides my way,
Winds brow to show the way
To fry...

Dawn breaks, day descends
With a carming attitude
Shadows farr and bend
Wercome in The Quietude
