Interpretation of a nahuatl (Aztec) poem from the point of view of a child imagining his cat as a jaguar and himself as a powerful warrior.

lyrics

Spotted animal, you are, Spotted jaguar, you are
Fearless creature, you are, Fearless jaguar, you are
Spotted animal, you are, Spotted jaguar, you are
I name you my soul companion
Fearless creature, you are, Fearless jaguar, you are
I name you my soul companion
(CHORUS)
Though I am just a child
And you are a house cat
One day I’ll be a warrior
and I’ll need you to guide me
My speech is of a child
Emotion unguarded
I dream of being powerful
And a feline to guide me
It’s not a proper prayer
For I am just a child
It’s not a proper
It’s speech for those whose hearts are heated!

Spotted animal, you are, Spotted jaguar, you are
I name you my soul companion
Fearless creature, you are, Fearless jaguar, you are
I name you my soul companion
One day I’ll be a warrior
and I’ll need you to guide me
I dream of being powerful
And a feline to guide me
CHORUS
your ears and eyes, your muscle and speed
you ruthless defense of family
your beauty
your instinct
my senses don’t compare
CHORUS
