The Dance Of Transition

Rete ymã ha'eguy aym
Rete pytum ha'eguy rendy
Rete wa'ekwe ha'eguy wa'erã

When my mission’s over
It is time to go ahead
I'll take what I have learned
Leave behind what I dread

My totem guides me through the circle of life
I’ll reach again the sacred plains

We’ll join in there, as the fire of life fades out
I’ll find my next home in there

Sing with me! Honor my name!
Not an end, but a new beginning
Sing with me! Honor my name!
Celebrate it with the dance of transition

When the smoke purifies me
Opening up my ways
My ancestors await me
And help me to transcend
