I Light the fire in the center of the woods and start dancing around it,
and I listen to the full moon's song that speaks of the night of time,
a mermaid appears from the water on the lake shore and looks at us,
I would really like to dance with you, said the mermaid.
how can you dance on dry land with that fin?
you must dissolve a curse by singing this mantra to the moon
moto, hewa, ardhi na maji, futa laana hii
the fire goes out, the moon is eclipsed and the sky lights up,
a woman with long red hair comes out of the lake water,
finally I can dance with you, says the woman,
let the lunar eclipse's dance begin, she says,
her long legs move without touching the ground,
monsters come out of the ash that want to kill me,
an Indian child with a bow and arrows appears from the trees,
while shooting arrows he tells me to run away with him,
we run into the forest towards an increasingly stronger light,
and then the darkness
