Saturday evening to Manaus in 2001,
It's midnight in Amazonia,
Lost fruits,
We have just landed in the unknown,
The young people party in streets,
We do not live here as somewhere else
Our small van leads us to a hotel,
To celebrate our arrival,
In a bus stop, a girl
Raise her T-shirt and shows her breasts,
The civilization does not miss me.

Even the flasher seems romantic.

Nostalgia reigns anytime it wants to.

Cool.

Sounds Mardi Gras like.
