Oracion Del Rapé

Surrender yourself, whole, and stand firm in the strength
And let it twist you, if it's your destiny
Inhale this tobacco powder and other herbs
For the plants are servants of the Father, who is Divine

Trust in the one who comes to you
And touch the tepi, blowing the rapé
Endure this breath, relax your body
A soldier of race is what remains standing

Surrender yourself, brother, in silence, in the forest
Let the knot untie and your body float
Now, transform yourself into a living crucible
In the strength of the Sun or the strength of the Moon!

Meditate on the lessons of the rapé
Keep your faith in God the Creator
Surrender to the lights of such shamanism
And have confidence, double that love

Reflect on the greater value of this celebration
And, here, manifest the value of growth
Erase this residue of pains and sorrows
For the force of the waters already bathes your being

In the dull buzz, into the nostrils
Thus, I concentrate, learning to be human
Blessed be the rapé – this accurate arrow! –
In the true peace, which is so different!

Steadfastness, caboclo! Steadfastness in study
For everything that comes to us is for good
Do not fear life, nor fear death
You know that strong, like God, no one else!
