Enter Ollanta (in a mantle fringed with gold bezants, and with a club over his shoulder), and his servant Piqui Chaqui.
| Ollanta. |
| Piqui Chaqui ricunquichu Cusi Coyllurtac huasinpi? | Piqui Chaqui, hast thou seen Cusi Coyllur in her house? |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Ama Ynti munachunchu Chayman churacunaitacca Manachu ccanccu manchanqui Incacc ususin casccantacca? | No! The Sun would not permit That I should go near it. How is it that you have no fear, She being daughter of the Ynca? |
| Ollanta. |
| Chaypas cachun, munasaccmi Chay lulucusccay urpita Ñancay sonccoy paipaca chita Paillallatan munascani! | In spite of that, I must ever love That most tender turtle-dove. My heart in that road Alone desires to search. |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Supaycha raicus-casunqui Ycha ccancca musphaquipas: | Supay must have bewitched you, And you wander in your speech. ​ |
| Hinantimpin huarma sipas Anchatan rucupacunqui Yma ppunchaucha yachancca Ynca yuyaycusccayquita Ccorochinccan umayquita Ccantacc canqui aycha canca. | Are there not many other maidens That you can love before you are old? The day that a knowledge of your love Shall come to the Ynca, He will have your head cut off, And your body roasted like meat. |
| Ollanta. |
| Ama runa, harccahuaichu! Caipitacc sipirccoy quiman Ama rimapayahuaychu Maquiyhuantaccttiqquiquiman. | Man! hold me not, Or I will strangle thee! Talk not too much before me, Or with my hand I will tear thee to pieces. |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Puriy ari aysarccamuy Allcco huarmuscca hinata; Ychacca ama ñoccata Puriy, Piqui, mascarccamuy Nihuanquicha sapa huata Sapa ppunchay, sapa tuta. | Away then! Let me be gone, And not fall like a dog. This shall not be for me. Away Piqui! He will seek me, He shall miss me each year, Each day, each night. |
| Ollanta. |
| Ñan ñiquina, Piqui Chaqui, Quiquin huañuy-ychunantin | Go then! Piqui Chaqui, Lead forth the dances of straw. ​ |
| Hinantin Urcco hinantin Sayaninman Aucca huaqui Chaypachapas, sayaymani Paycunahuan churaccuspa Ñoccan y causay huamuspa Ccoyllurniypi mitccascani! | For me though my enemies oppose me, Though a mountain obstruct Yet will I encounter them. I will risk all this, And risk life itself To embrace the Coyllur. |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Supay llocsimunman chayri? | If Supay should stand in the way? |
| Ollanta. |
| Payta huanpas tustuymanmi. (Paytapas ñocca) | Him also would I trample down! |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Mana cenccata ricuspan Cunan ccama rimascanqui. | You cannot see your own nose, And therefore you speak thus. |
| Ollanta. |
| Chaypas, Piqui huillallahuay Ama ymata pacaspayqui Manachu Ccoyllur ricusccayqui Llapacc ttican? y ñillahuay. | Say then, Piqui! Canst thou hide for me, So that Coyllur may see it, This flower? |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Ccoyllurllahuan musphascanqui Manan ñocca ricunichu | Still mad about the Coyllur! I have never seen her. ​ |
| Paycha canccan, ycha pichu Ccayna ppuncha ranqui ranqui Pununtas qquecuna uccupi Lloccsimuriccan chay Surupi Ynti manri ricchacunccan Quillamantacc tucupunccan | Who, with other spotless ones, Came forth but yesterday? Perchance it was she! Beautiful as the morning, Brilliant as the Sun in his course, Bright as the moon. |
| Ollanta. |
| Paypunin chaycca riccsinqui Yma sumac, yma cusi Cunallanmi purininqui Cunaiñiyhuan cusi cusi. | No doubt it was she, How lovely! how joyful! But now you must have walked by her! How bright and joyful is she! |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Mana ñoccacca riymachu Ppunchaycca hatun huasita Chaypiñatacc ccepintinta Mana pita reccsiymanchu. | Indeed I cannot speak of her. I cannot go this day to her house, They would not let a porter in, And I know her not by sight. |
| Ollanta. |
| Reccsimiñan ñinquitaccmi? | Did you not say that you knew her? |
| Piqui Chaqui. |
| Chaytacca ñiyllama ñimi Tutallan ccoyllurcca ccanchan, Tutallatacc mi reccsini. | I said that, meaning That as the stars shine at night in their places, So I only know her at night. |
| Ollanta. |
| Lloccsihuay caymanta laicca Chay ccoyllur munacusccaicca Ynticc cayllanpi ashuanta Ccanchan chipchin sapanmanta | Be gone then, wizard. My adored Cusi Coyllur Is more bright than the Sun, She has no rival. |

I will convey you to her And speak with her. I will consent to be your messenger, Though I am but a poor man. |

Tell me! for what are they intended? Is it for the Ynca thou preparest To discover evil omens By the spider divination? For what purpose dost thou come, Seeing that the Raymi is not yet? Is, peradventure, the Ynca sick? How dost thou make thy divinations? By the blood drops of the Tunqui The day of observing the Sun, The sacrifices of the Moon Are still very far off. ​ |

Dost thou not desire his daughter, That maddening Coyllur, That Cusi, that she may fall. Refrain from this! Do not commit this crime. Keep thy heart from it. Though she loves thee much, Do not thus with her soul. Do not act in this way, Do not commit this crime, Showing such ingratitude In return for great favours! The Ynca will not suffer it, For he loves the Coyllur. If you should speak of it, His rage will be great. Are you becoming mad ​ |

Now I know it, I know it! Now thou hast surprised me in it, The lasso that surrounds me is great, I might hang myself with it. Though it be plaited with gold, This unequalled crime— A golden crime will be my executioner: If Cusi Coyllur is my wife, I am lassoed with her, I am now of her blood, I am of her lineage, As her mother knows and will declare.

I searched for her in all parts, Looking all round. From the beautiful face of my love, They call her Coyllur. It was by reason of her beauty, A harmonious name. Like the moon in its splendour Is her bright forehead, When it shines in brilliancy In the highest heaven. Her sister tresses hang down, Woven in two colours, Black mixed with gold upon her temples, A beautiful sight. Her lovely eyebrows shading her face Are like the rainbow. ​ |
