Toddling with tiny steps,
learning all kinds of tricks,
as the little tiger cub arrives,
showing off its lively spirit!
Spinning round and round,
knocking everything aside,
it gets ready to jump and play,
with full energy, just as it pleases!
In all eight directions,
run wild and have fun, little one!
A brand-new tune,
I have made just for you!
Across every forest and hill,
go run around and play!
Who is there to stop you?
There is no one here!
You are a precious gift,
blessed and sent by God!
Just like a wild forest,
we must transform this whole land!
Toddling with tiny steps,
learning all kinds of tricks,
as the little tiger cub arrives,
showing off its lively spirit!
Spinning round and round,
knocking everything aside,
it gets ready to jump and play,
with full energy, just as it pleases!
You are a new arrival to us,
day after day,
may our happiness overflow!
You have been born into this world,
a precious new life,
now let the fun and good times roll!
Inside the home and out in the jungle,
songs and dances make a celebration!
Here, there, and everywhere,
we are family,
joy beats like a drum,
in this bond of ours!
A kinship like this,
can it ever be found again?
This is enough for a lifetime,
what else could we ever need...
Toddling with tiny steps,
learning all kinds of tricks,
as the little tiger cub arrives,
showing off its lively spirit!
Spinning round and round,
knocking everything aside,
it gets ready to jump and play,
with full energy, just as it pleases... hey!
