I just see you from far,
Mix with you not
As the community men
May not take it well
With all those village elders,
The moral police
As fear the drunk men most
Aboriginal with bows and arrows
And hard judgements!
But I see you,
Standing far from you,
Seeing you in full,
Marking you singing, dancing and humming
A tribal song
Whose wording can I hear,
But the meaning totally unknown,
The thud and accent of yours strange,
The wild flowers into the hair braid,
Your drunkenness, I admire it,
I admire it, Santal girl!
