Su padre los llevó a sus hijos y el niño llevó en esta vez maíz y por donde lo
llevaba su padre el regaba maíz, su padre los llevó más lejos, se paró y dijo
espérenme aquí ya regreso:
Los niños lloraron no sabían a donde ir. Amaneció y los animales salvajes
pasaban por sus lado y no los hacían nada, los niños vagaban por los bosques
encantados, se les hizo de noche y sin darse cuenta durmieron junto a una ave,
al pasar el tiempo, ellos se hicieron aves grandes volaron donde era su casa y
cantaban muy triste diciendo: AYAYMAMA que significa porque nos dejaste
mamá.
Su padre sospechó que eran ellos y se arrepintió diciendo: vengan hijos míos,
las aves volaron al bosque y su padre no supo dónde estaban.
THE LEGEND OF AYAYMAMA
Legend has it that a man had two sons, and his wife could not bear children.
One day the lady told her husband to leave their children, and listened.
he told his children to follow him, the boy grabbed white stones and where his
father had placed a stone, his father told him:
Wait for me here since a while back and did not show his father, the boy picked
up the stones where placed and so came home.
Her mother at seeing their children at home told her husband to take them
further.
Her father took her children and the child at this time led by corn and where his
father had watered corn, his father took further, stopped and said wait for me
here and return:
Night fell and the child could not return because they had watered corn fed
birds.
The children cried do not know where to go. Dawned and wild animals passed
through his side and not doing anything, children roamed the enchanted forests,
were asked night and inadvertently slept next to a bird, over time, these large
birds were flown where it was his house and sang sad saying Ayaymama
meaning because mom left us.
His father suspected that they were and regretted saying: Come, my children,
the birds flew into the forest and his father did not know where they were.
