A María Sabina chant

June 6, 2010

Porque yo puedo nadar en lo inmenso

Porque yo puedo nadar en todas formas
Porque soy la mujer lanzadera
Porque soy el tlacuache sagrado
Porque soy el Señor tlacuache

Soy la mujer Libro que está debajo del agua, dice
Soy la mujer del pueblo numeroso, dice
Soy la pastora que está debajo del agua, dice
Soy la mujer que pastorea lo inmenso, dice
Soy pastora y vengo con mi pastor, dice

Porque todo tiene su origen
Y yo vengo yendo de lugar en lugar desde el origen…


Because I can swim in the immense
Because I can swim in all forms
Because I am the launch woman
Because I am the sacred opposum
Because I am the Lord opposum

I am the woman Book that is beneath the water, says
I am the woman of the populous town, says
I am the shepherdess who is beneath the water, says
I am the woman who shepherds the immense, says
I am a shepherdess and I come with my shepherd, says

Because everything has its origin
And I come going from place to place from the origin…[5]
