Yo vivía
en el bosque muy contento
caminaba, caminaba
sin cesár
Las mañanas
y las tardes eran mías
a la noche
me tiraba a descansar
Pero un día,
vino el hombre con sus jaulas
me encerró,
y me llevó a la ciudad
En el circo
me enseñaron las piruetas
y yo hací perdí
mi amada libertad
"conformate" -me decía un tigre viejo-
"nunca el techo
ni la comida han de faltar,
solo exigen que hagamos la piruetas
y a los chicos podamos alegrar"
Han pasado
4 años de esta vida
con el circo
recorrí el mundo así
Pero nunca pude
olvidarme de todo,
de mi bosque, de mis tardes
y de mi
En un pueblito alejado
alguien me cerró el candado
era una noche sin luna
y yo dejé la ciudad
Ahora piso
yo el suelo de mi bosque
otra vez el verde
de la libertad
Estoy viejo
pero las tardes son mias
Vuelvo ao bosque
Estoy contentode verdad
