CUADERNO DE MOZAMBIQUE 2

Vídeo: Chema García Martínez

Danse Africaine

The low beating of the tom-toms,
The slow beating of the tom-toms,
Low... slow
Slow... low -
Stirs your blood.
Dance!
A night-veiled girl
Whirls softly into a
Circle of light.
Whirls softly... slowly,
Like a wisp of smoke around the fire -
And the tom-toms beat,
And the tom-toms beat,
And the low beating of the tom-toms
Stirs your blood.

James Langston Hughes

(1902 - 1967)
