Across oceans, lands, and skies In whispers, shouts, and in many different languages The story of the little hummingbird of the Great Forest can always be heard The story of the little hummingbird has been told around the world in many forms and across many cultures, and is believed to have originated among the Indigenous Quecha people of modern-day Ecuador.
