The jungle near Manaus
The Amazonas full of piranyas
The birds of paradise
Disappear into the green desert
For years and years
We are hungry and desperate
For the only thing worth living
The excess !
We end our great mission
Exhausted and sad
And there is no hope left
When suddenly
In a cloud of golden smog
The father of excess
Jumps out of the water
Of the Amazonas full of piranyas
And screams
To the lost souls
(What are you doing)
(At the Amazonas near Manaus)
(Full of piranyas.)
(You will not find excess in the jungle.)
And then, he opened the green curtain
Made of fleshy leaves and said:
(I show you the excess of the asphalt "à Montmartre",)
(The excess of the belly dance in Abu Dhabi)
(And the excess of the everlasting night in Manhattan.)
(Are you ready)
(For the "Sensación del Tango à Rosario" ?)
(Leave him the gorilla.)
(Leave the jungle)
(Of the Amazonas near Manaus)
(Full of piranyas)
(And follow father excess.)
