Brazilian Woman

Brazilian woman, you never hide. You always sing in a loud voice letting every one know that the world is still alive. You dance Samba among the zombies, scorching them with sparks from the fire of your soul and infecting them with the will to live again. The world would be gray without you. Brazilian woman, with giant steps you forge a trail of joy and fill everyone you touch with hope. The sun is your companion and the moon your lover. Your skin is black and white. From your veins flows a current of seawater. The seagulls eat from your hands and the glow of the beach surrenders before your eyes. No matter where you go, you take sand in your feet. Brazilian woman, when you voice our names, they turn into song. Our appearance is more becoming at your side. You warm our hearts when you tell us that we are all stars, and that we only have to look at the night to find ourselves. Brazilian woman, never hide, always sing in a loud voice.
