Dandara
Ivan Lins
Dandara
She has the name of a warrior woman
And dresses in a way that's unique to her
She lives between the here and the other
The girls don't really like her
She has a tribal tattoo on her ankle
And a serpent sleeps on her neck
What makes her almost a secret
Is being herself, so transparent
She is free and being free makes her shine
She is a daughter of the earth, sky, and sea
Dandara
She puts light streaks in her hair
And walks on the shallow sand
I try to find out her routes
To pretend I come across her by chance
She talks on a red cellphone
With friends and her boyfriend
She has the whole world near her
And around her, another world, amazed
She is free and being free makes her shine
She is a daughter of the earth, sky, and sea
