Hail all creatures of the South
Coyote of the yellow fur
Noon sun beating down
Bless us with your innocence and trust
Burn in us, flames of candlight and fire,
Spark of life
Riding your galloping horse
Amazon huntress of the bright heat
You streak across the hot plains
Strong will shining, victorious.
We remember you
Powerful warriors: Calafia, Cybele, Boudicea, Pele, Arrina
Defenders of women, champions of the helpless,
Courage and strength are your weapons
Against oppression.
We remember you.
Bright Spirited Goddess
Eyes flashing fire, burning with pride and passion,
Confident in your power.
Roaring red lioness in heat
The air shimmers when you walk.
