Big Bird
In the empire of rare birds
Those without feathers are kings
Among hawks and macaws
The wild ducks make the rules
The land of wild ducks
Feels more like a hornet's nest
They all peck around
To reach the perch
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
His shadow
Is protective
It comes from our noble ancestors
In the land of parrots
Those without a perch are ducks
They all peck around
Just to be in the picture
In the kingdom of climbers
The parrot is the lord
Even without knowing how to read
Any parrot is a doctor
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
His shadow
Is protective
It comes from our noble ancestors
To fly higher than the others
That was the rooster's dream
To steal the wings from Pegasus
And fly like a horse
But to be a rooster
Is to have the ground close to your belly
To reach the perch
You have to use a lot of scheming
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
His shadow
Is protective
It comes from our noble ancestors
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
His shadow
Is protective
It comes from our noble ancestors
In the kingdom of flyers
Great anarchy reigns
And the flying cockroach
Already has a place of power
The oppressed birds
Just wish for this to change
But the birds of prey
Are getting healthier every day
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
His shadow
Is protective
It comes from our noble ancestors
Over the land
Over the sea
The big brother watches over us
The forces parade in front of the honor stand
Composed of fifty perches
Where the representatives are perched
Of the main ornithological species
Democratically aligned in the march to Big Bird
At this moment they parade
The falcon squadron and the vulture squadron
Guardians of peace, of death
Of security and freedom
Their march to Big Bird
Was towards their perch
Extending the right wing
In health to the troops, as a sign of respect and gratitude
