THE FIRE DANCER

Never have I seen one like her
Amongst the daughters she glitters
Her beauty is exceptional
She is flamed
I captured her in a frame
May I not be blamed

Her beauty is incomparable
Her attraction is undeniable
She is a symbol of perfection
Just so humble
Her dimples looks simple
Broughtupsy she smiles

Oh – oh God
What a creature
I marvel, I marvel
On the beauty she beholds
The fire dancer

She dances like no other
For the crowd must look yonder
She spin’s and rolls all over
She shake it down,
She push it up
Side by side and twist among the rest

The genga and flute has a melody
tongues uncontrollable
yelling, yelling her name
Doosuugh, doosuugh.
Doosuugh the fire dancer.
