The piece is literally a reflection of different notes within a rhythmic cycle,
which is appended, inverted and played backwards and forward,
where the listener cannot tell where it begins and where it end much
like the reflections of a multi faceted jade

lyrics

TRANSLATED FROM NAHUATL INTO SPANISH

Ontetepeoac, en chachayaoac
Hubo una siembra,
hubo una dispersión

Esto se dijo de un orador real que aconseja bien a la gente
Después de que él habló
Después de que el discurso fue dicho
ellos entendieron su verdad, le dijeron:

"La gente ha sido informada,
han sido enriquecidos
Ha habido una siembra
ha habido una gran dispersión de jades ".
FLORENTINE CODEX, Vl, 205 v

TRANSLATED FROM SPANISH INTO ENGLISH

There was a sowing,
there was a scattering
This was said of a royal orator
who counsels with people well
after he spoke
after the oration had been delivered
they understood its truth,
they told him:

"The people have been well informed,
they have been enriched.
There has been a sowing
there has been a great scattering of jades."
FLORENTINE CODEX, Vl, 205 v
