Manaus in the vegetable imprints,
Hardly taken out of the airport, midnight,
The breath of an animal in our lungs
We cross the city in the horns of buffalo,
A girl on the pavement lifts
Her T-shirt and shows us its bosoms,
First show of the free Amazonia,
Is it thus it the freedom to love?
It is on Saturday evening as everywhere else
It is on Saturday evening on the spirit of the forest
On the planet which turns without happiness,
The young people in streets reign in turn
On this world which they disdain with their sap.

A somehow pessimistic vision of this youth, but a vivid slice of Saturday atmosphere.

Love these Brazilian memories, dear Yann.

Love,
Margherita
