Scene 1
III - Rio Bixiga
Hahahahahaha-ha-ha-ha, I can hear a laugh from here
just the humor, this earthquake,
all the water inside
bubbles
oozes
vibrates
trembles
splashes
the stream of joy gushes from head to toe
ora yeyê ô
tune in to the buried bloodstream!
under the ground
the apotheosis of our passion!
everything that comes from below hits me
and in the eye of the hurricane
I look into the watery eyes of the most primitive life
The world's first danced movement,
it overflows!
without its bath there is no joy
without its mirages there is no silence
without its waterfall there is no feast
without its fountain there is no abundance
without its water there is no life
Bixiga River
dance, dance!
take possession of the face of the earth
fulfill your destiny as the vanguard of all that is alive
avenge your poisoned body
