English
At the base of the yungui chonta palm lies a bird nest
In the arms of a young woman the chonta flower flowers
The oriole chief eats yellow chonta
Sitting on the fruit cluster he sings in the voice of every bird
The white beaked bird eats black chonta
At the base of the quiza pot a young girl stands
The chonta tanager eats red chonta fruit
In the hands of beautiful woman, the red chicha pot breaks
