"In my forty years I Zarité Sedella, I've had better luck than other slaves. I'll live my old age Lerga and be happy because my star -my z’etoile- also shines when the night is cloudy ...
I hit the ground with the soles of the feet and my life goes down the leg skeleton recoore me, seized me, takes my uneasiness, and I sweeten the memory. The world shudders. The pace was born on the island under the sea, shaking the earth, through me like a lightning and goes to heaven carried off my sorrows ...
Dance, dance Zarité because slave dance is free ... while dancing. "
