(**Going in a circle, bringing my knees together, from here
I see the sun.
Ocotillo cactus blossoms, I carry in my basket, while I pass-by
and turn around in a circle.
Right here, can't you see the sunshine?
Right here! Right here.
Right here, can't you see the sunshine?
Together, we are dancing. **
