Andie hiked up to the Andes so high,
Found Homer in a cave, oh, my, oh, my!
Homer said with a grin,
"Let the cooking begin,
Mushroom soup with chili, let's give it a try!"

I’m from the Andes Mountains
I returned to “La Montaña”
to recharge my feminine energy.
Her spirit is very alive.
Taking my breath away,
her beautiful fertile curves
makes her impossible
to go unnoticed.
Her greatness
makes me humble.
Her waterfalls feed
our rivers and lakes.
Climbing her
it is a challenge
that makes me
be present.
Invites me to overcome
obstacles with a firm step.
At the top, she’ll show us
A broader perspective.
Mountains are great teachers
Connect with her energy.
I guarantee you
great legs, ha-ha

Andean Mountain Cats are listed as, endangered
and are found in, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina
They inhabit arid to semi-arid areas, in the Andes Mountains
and their thick fur and long tail, helps them prevail on their trail
Their range is so inhospitable and remote, for humans to study
but humans hunt them for their fur, because of the greed of money
Other threats are loss of habitat, and the hunting of their main prey
of Mountain Viscachas and Chinchillas, has made their life so gray

Kristalle aus Eis und Salz
überziehen den See rot
im Abendlicht.
Am Horizont erstrahlen die Anden
im Mantel aus Purpur und Gold,
Eldorado der Ewigkeit.
Die Andengipfel hüten ihr Eis
wie wertvollen Schatz.
In der Hochebene am See
suchen Flamingos vereinzelt nach Nahrung
im Algensee.
Weitab in der Ferne
am Horizont
sprühen heiße Quellen Fontänen
in vor Kälte klirrende Abendluft.
Nur einige Vicuñas
treiben ihre Spiele
zwischen reifbedecktem, spärlichen Gras.
Die schleichende Nacht
bricht herein
mit frostiger Gewalt
------------------------------------------------
Crystals from ice and salt
cover the lake red
in the evening light.
At the horizon shine forth the Andes
in a coat of magenta and gold,
Eldorado of eternity.
The Andes summits protect their ice
like valuable treasures.
At the plateau near the lake
flamingos look sporadically for food
in the alga lake.
Far away in the distance
at the horizon
spray hot springs fountains
into freezing cold evening air
Only some Vicuñas
play their games
between rime coated, sparse grass.
The night is creeping in
with frosty power

Mountains glow like amber
As being lit by an eternal fire
The sun sets slowly
Andean peaks embedded in clouds
Shadows spread on ancient sands
Berge glühen wie Bernstein
Wie durch ein ewiges Feuer entfacht
Die Sonne geht langsam unter
Anden Gipfel eingebettet in Wolken
Schatten ergießen sich auf altem Sand
Las montañas brillan igual al ámbar
Como encendido por un fuego eterno
El sol se pone despacito
Picos de Andes empotrados en nubes
Las sombras se desaguan en antigua arena

Unter tiefblauem Himmel
Aufragende Schneegipfel der Anden
Aufgereiht wie Perlen
In glitzender Pracht in der Sonne
Die Salzseen und rosa Flamingos
-----------------------------------------------
Under bright blue skies
Towering snow peaks of the Andes
Beaded like pearls
In glistening splendor of sun
The salt lakes and pink flamingos
-----------------------------------------------
Bajo un cielo azul profundo
Pingorotudos picos nevados de los Andes
Alineadas como perlas
En brillante esplendor del sol
Los lagos de sal y rosados flamencos

Water of the Andes,
clear and pure as the forests of the South,
as the crisp and cool air,
embedded between mountains and snowy peaks.
Crystals of hope,
lights of a lost history,
between desert and ocean,
buried and preserved for the future.
The geysers
sing their melodies,
with songs from the sky.
The wind caresses the soil,
calming rocks and ice.
The sand shows its fragility
with feathers of flamingos,
delicate and fine
as the shadows of Vicuñas,
ghostly creatures
of the altiplano.
The soil favours you,
the air sends you its greetings,
and between day and night,
the music of the winds
plays you their tunes
from far,
out of history.
