Despierto en la selva peruana.
Soy negro y amarillo.
Corro tan veloz como sopla el viento.
Mis huellas son tan profundas como el hielo.
Estoy esperando mi almuerzo.
Quizás sea un pequeño ciervo hoy.
Me pregunto ¿que vendrá?
Nadie sabe que hay un poderoso jaguar en este bosque.
Salto a través del río.
Pido un deseo que ningún cazador me robe o robe a mis amigos.
