Naza-zouk da Naza
Nilson Chaves
Naza-zouk by Naza
Nazaré arrived here. She was already a saint
And here was already here. In the same place
She squatted to drink water.
The rain fell and she decided to stay
She gathered straw, vines, creepers, little sticks
Built a little house, tidied up
Kitchen and backyard, roasted fish, made avuado
Harvested açaí without hurting anything
Naza, little Nazarene, Nazaré queen,
Nazaré, mother of the earth,
Dear mother help me take care
