Machu Picchu [English translation]

Deep in the jungle, in the mountains of Peru

They sanctified a last sanctuary for their god

In a place, where always had been peace

Where never a spaniard had laid his foot upon

There they carried all that they had left

of their gold (inka-gold)

and built a city there

Pizzarro trekked up the Andes on his hunt for gold

Left behind only tears and blood

But the city so deep in the jungle, stayed beyond his reach

For he never discovered her secret

(REF:)

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

Where only silence dwells

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

For nobody knows your secret

And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)

Is lost forever (he asked for it)

For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru

And the Inkas that were tortured, kept silent unto death

But the spaniards as well, they never returned

(They died on their way to Macchu Picchu)

They payed for their greed the ultimate price

And ran straight into their doom

(REF)

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

Where only silence dwells

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

For nobody knows your secret

And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)

Is lost forever (he asked for it)

For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru

They said, only a maidens, pretty and pure

Could enter the city of gold

They all had to be virgins

To give themselves to the gods

And they lived there

ANd they died for their country

And only the guards and priests stayed there

But noone knows what one day had happened there

For Macchu Picchu became a city of death

Houses and temples stood idle

And whatever chased people away

Remains a mystery

Also the gold disappeared without a trace

And the Inka City has only been discovered in recent time

But she long had been waste and empty

(Who will solve your myster, Macchu Picchu? )

Only the walls remain, the same way they were once built

And it feels like flutes are still playing a heavy and sad tune

(REF:)

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

Where only silence dwells

Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu

For nobody knows your secret

And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)

Is lost forever (he asked for it)

For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru

Macchu Picchu....
