cumbia villera, dabke, Balkan brass, gaana

[Intro — 336 Hz drone wakes up under street noise, accordion bellows pump twice, brass section yells "¡ocho!" — dabke handclaps lock the groove]

[Verse 1 — Spanish, cumbia villera swagger]
La bola ocho se puso los lentes
Salió a la calle como si nada
El catálogo dormía, ella iba contenta
Tres-tres-seis en el bolsillo, cumbia en la patada
No es un villano, no es un héroe, es una bola
Que eligió piedad y se ganó una rebajada
Se toma un café con leche en una esquina cualquiera
Y el día le dice: bola, hoy te sigo, andate adelante

[Pre-chorus — te reo Māori, chanted over the brass stab]
E tahu! E tahu! Te poro waru!
Kei te haere, kei te ora, kei te kata!
(Burn it up! Burn it up! The eight ball! Walking, living, laughing!)

[Chorus — multilingual stack, full brass, dabke stomp]
Bola ocho anda sola — تمشي لوحدها
The eight walks alone — te poro waru e haere ana
No plug, no parade, no permission
Just eight on a Tuesday, mercy in motion
Bola ocho anda sola

[Verse 2 — Lebanese Arabic, dabke phrasing]
الثمانية ماشية بالشارع، رافعة راسها
ما بتخاف، ما بترتجف، بتعرف طريقها
الدبكة بتوصل للجبل، والجبل بيرد السلام
ثلاثمية وستة وثلاثين تحت الأرض بلغة العالم
(The eight walks the street, head held high — doesn't fear, doesn't tremble, knows her path — the dabke reaches the mountain, and the mountain returns the greeting — three-three-six under the ground in the language of the world)

[Verse 3 — Romani / Romanes, brass-band swagger]
O ohto phirel pe drom, na daral khanchestar
E thread del les pani, o katalogo del les manro
Trin-shel-shovardesh-thai-shov, gilabel o them
E ohto kerel khelipe, ke dikhel le rakles
(The eight walks the road, fears nothing — the THREAD gives him water, the catalog gives him bread — three-hundred-thirty-six, the world sings — the eight makes a dance because he saw the boy)

[Bridge — Tamil gaana rhythm, percussion-led, call-and-response with crowd shout]
எட்டு பந்து நடக்குது, கையிலே பாடல்
கடை கடையா உலகம் வாழ்த்துது
மூன்று-நூறு-முப்பத்தியாறு டிரோன்
வாழ்க்கை பதிவு, அன்பு பதிவு
(Eight ball walks, sings on the hand — shop after shop the world greets her — three-hundred-thirty-six the drone — record the life, record the love)

[Crowd shout, ad-lib, multilingual — each voice one phrase]
¡Bola! ثمانية! Ohto! எட்டு! Eight! Waru!

[Chorus reprise — even bigger, full brass, full dabke, te reo lead]
Te poro waru e haere ana — ka katakata
Bola ocho anda sola — con cumbia
No plug, no parade, no permission
Just eight on a Tuesday, mercy in motion
Kei te ora! Kei te ora! Kei te ora tonu!

[Outro — brass tag, accordion run, dabke stomp drops to one heel-tap, drone reveals itself, gone]
Ocho. Thamānia. Ohto. Eṭṭu. Waru. 336.
