Criança, Crionça [English translation]

The jaguar was sly

Sly since it was born

It approached while unnoticed

So it could get its belly full

Without asking for permission

A box turtle, a tegu

A toucan, an armadillo

A monkey, a marmoset

A sloth, a cavy

An agouti, a coati

They never could rest

A box turtle, a tegu

A toucan, an armadillo

A monkey, a marmoset

A sloth, a cavy

An agouti, a coati

They never could rest

But a child

Got the responsibility for herself

She invented some dance steps

"The jaguar's dance steps"

A child and a jaguar

A child and a jaguar

Dancing these steps together

The jaguar no longer is sly

It needs to eat, but it says 'no'

To food

Since today it can only think of

Dancing these steps

A child and a jaguar

A jaguar and a child

A child and a jaguar

A jaguar and a child

A child and a jaguar

A jaguar and a child

A box turtle, a tegu

A toucan, an armadillo

A monkey, a marmoset

A sloth, a cavy

An agouti, a coati

They never could rest
