Jerónimo's tooth
Awesome ivory sword
Loyal cavalier
Inside an armour of fur
Rescuer of me
And his mates

Livestock keepers
Trapping lions, bandits
in their beloved African land
No limits in the endless landscape
The people
And their smells

Fearless lion dog
Gentle and curious
Sticking his nose
Everywhere and nowhere
Everywhere and nowhere

A leader of the pack
Territorial dancers
Bones of courage and speed
His sons and brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
Sisters
And their teeth
Immense possibilities
Of bite

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take your broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You are only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take your sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You are only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Fearless lion dog
Gentle and curious
Sticking his nose
Everywhere and nowhere
Everywhere and nowhere

A leader of the pack
Territorial dancers
Bones of courage and speed
His sons and brothers and sisters
Brothers and sisters
Sisters
And their teeth
Immense possibilities
Of bite
