Quechua Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Quechua people of Bolivia’s Andean highlands, one of the largest indigenous groups in the country. The Quechua still honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, with small offerings before planting or building — a belief inherited from their Inca ancestors, who once ruled these same Andean highlands. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
