CHORUS

Dance for Dionysus,
EVOHI!
Sing the fall,
Sing the catastrophe
Of Pentheus, Pentheus,
The Dragonseed!
Dressed as a woman
EVOHI!
Dance his fall
And carrying a thyrsus
A faithful guide to
The nether world!
A fair fight, a fair Agon!
With loops of ivy
To the sacrifice
The Bull led the Man!
Kadmeian Bacchae
EVOHI!
You have won!
The Paean of Victory
Your song is ending
In tears and groans!
A fair fight, a fair Agon!
With arms still dripping
His blood, a mother
Embraces her son.
But look! Agave is returning to the palace
Her eyes rolling. Now be ready to receive
The praise of our God of Joy.
