Maasai Chant

Lyrics

Red against the golden grass The warriors jump straight toward the sun Each landing shakes the dust awake The earth responds to every one Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land Where warriors land Where warriors land The pearl beads click with every rise Red ochre dust clouds at their feet No drum is needed for this dance The body is the only beat Straight up and straight down the simplest dance on earth But when twenty warriors jump as one the ground remembers it was born from fire Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land Maasai chant the earth shakes where warriors land Where warriors land Where warriors land The higher that the warrior jumps The closer that his head meets sky The deeper that his feet return The more the earth begins to cry They land together as a word That has no translation in your tongue The sound of twenty bodies falling Back to earth where they belong
