Bélgica Dagua, "Ucayali Sani Garza Warmi."

She is the woman purple heron. I come from a town called Ucayali (from Peru). I have seen the first mijanadas (fish schools). The purple heron woman arrived from Ucayali, guided by the first school of fish… She arrived at a place called Sol Sol. “I have arrived, I have arrived,” she said, following the first schools of fish (mijanos). The purple heron woman came following them. I crossed eighty beaches to prepare my food, in a river of yellow mud. I started sucking, I started sucking the first large fish (bocachicos). The purple heron woman doesn’t want to know anything about the small schools of fish (mijanos). “After eating all kinds of animals, she doesn't want to know anything about fish. I’ve been eating since the beginning, from downriver. Now her throat is thin, although she still has bones in it. She still has the bones in her throat. She, the purple heron woman, ate alone. I ate until the last of the fish (mijanos). While eating, I went up to the headwaters of the river. What is the song about? In this song, she says it.” “The pink heron woman came out of Ucayali, from the banks of the Peru River. She came following from far below until she reached a place called Sol Sol. She crossed eighty beaches to prepare her food in a river of yellow mud. With her spear-like beak, she fished bocachicos in a place called Sol. After getting stuffed, she didn't want to know anything about fish. She didn't want to eat any more mijanos, saying: ‘This is how my grandmother, Nativira, sang.’” “The grandmother who sang that song is no longer here, but now I sing it. Is this song beautiful? Did the bird sing so beautifully that she followed it? No, she followed these fish from this river that were going up to the headwaters, and she fed on them while following them. After getting stuffed with all those mijanos, she doesn’t want to eat again. After becoming a widow, she didn’t want to marry again. She sang this to me and made me listen to it.”
