Pe fouy kontak ritme dan enn kadans primer;
Bann vibrasion sonor dan lanbians san zefor
Pe balans bann laans, asoupli bann lekor;

Dan enn jalsa lagam ladans ploy so lamans.

Depi dan vant later avan let alfabet;
Depi dan profonder pli profon ki Lafrik
Fraz kominion primer napa konn lot lozik
Apart amenn ansam tou dimoun dan zwisans
Pou soud bann lien entim, garanti lesperans.

Get sa zoli ti fam ki roule do baba!
Pran li dan to lebra! Samem Larenn Sega!
Mo vini!
ODE TO SEGA
Elegant feet in harmony with earth
Dig rhythmic links in primordial swing;
Sound vibrations in effortless mood
Shake hips and condition muscles and bones;
Dead goat skin now kindle new life
And in a sound fiesta dancing steps eagerly go.
I come!
I come! Primeval magic words rise
From earth’s entrails to build and bind;
From the depth of beginning the earliest urge
Knows no other course than to bring
Together all denizens through utter joy;
Intimately unite with hopeful promise.
Teelahee!
Teelahee! Where? In a gunny sack, in a coop?
Where are they, the Apsaras and Pygmalions
Duty-bound to polish rough diamonds
And break the spell of seductive Maya-Mermaids?
Behold the swinging hip rolling by!
Take her in your arms. She is Queen Sega.
I come!
