Yo vivía en el bosque muy contento
Caminaba, caminaba sin cesar
Las mañanas y las tardes eran mías
A las noches me tiraba a descansar
Pero un día vino el hombre con sus jaulas
Me encerro y me llevo a la ciudad
En el circo me enseñaron las piruetas
Y yo así perdí mi amada libertad
-Conformate me decía un tigre viejo
Nunca el techo y la comida han de faltar
Solo exigen que hagamos las piruetas
Y a los niños podamos alegrar
Han pasado cuatro años de esta vida
Con el circo recorri la el mundo así
Pero nunca pude olvidarme de todo
De mis bosques, de mis tardes y de mí
En un pueblito alejado
Alguien no cerro el candado
Era una noche sin Luna
Yo deje la ciudad
Ahora piso yo el suelo de mi bosque
Otra vez el verde de la libertad
Estoy viejo pero las tardes son mías
Vuelvo al bosque, estoy contento de verdad
