Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fossora by Björk from Portuguese to English.
Her nerves spread like wings at mycelium speed
Her nerves spread like wings at mycelium speed
Into the atmosphere, there's spores everywhere
Into the atmosphere, there's spores everywhere
For millions of years we've been ejecting our spores
For millions of years we've been ejecting our spores
Seedlings and sprouts are shot into the ground
Seedlings and sprouts are shot into the ground
Her fossorial claw digs downwards, dissolves old pain
Her fossorial claw digs downwards, dissolves old pain
Dug down to rot, decomposes debris
Dug down to rot, decomposes debris
Degrades sorrows, hair and hooves
Degrades sorrows, hair and hooves
We stayed in one place long enough (fossora)
We stayed in one place long enough (fossora)
To shoot down deep hyphae roots (fossora, fossora, fossora)
To shoot down deep hyphae roots (fossora, fossora, fossora)
That penetrate concrete and plastic (fossora, fossora, fossora)
That penetrate concrete and plastic (fossora, fossora, fossora)
Even though the ground is burnt underneath monumental growth (fossora, fossora, fossora)
Even though the ground is burnt underneath monumental growth (fossora, fossora, fossora)
Fossora (fossora, fossora)
Fossora (fossora, fossora)
