Oso Blanco.

Am F9 G9 F9 (repitir)

En este camino rumbo a la selva
Me he encontrado un pajarillo sonajero
Que inspirado en el vuelo del águila encontró en su corazón
Este canto que brota del alma aquí y ahora

Pajarillo sonajero encontraste en la vision
A un oso blanco con alas de condor y mirada de jaguar

Entrelazas mariri* las plumas del águila y del cóndor
Donde llueven las gotas del cielo que hoy fecunda la semilla

En este camino rumba la selva
Me encontrado mi corazón sonajero…

Translation:

On this path headed for the jungle I have found a rattling bird
Who inspired by the flight of the eagle, found in its heart this song that sprouts forth from the soul here and now
Rattling bird, you found in your vision a white bear with wings of a condor and the gaze of a jaguar
You interweave, mariri* the feathers of the eagle & the condor where the drops of the heavens rain down that today fertilize the seed
On this path headed for the jungle I have found my rattling heart

*Mariri is often used as a space-filling rhythmic sound in traditional medicine songs. It can refer to the force of the medicine, or its technical meaning refers to ‘shamanic phlegm’ that is used for protection. It is referenced frequently in the mythology, and also used by some contemporary practitioners.
