The Sparrowhawk

My life, I loved you, I loved you, capricious
My life, believing, believing, flattering
My life, my heart breaks
My life, seeing you, seeing you so deceitful
My life, I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
Yes, oh, oh yes, oh, oh, oh

My life, my life, I loved you
My life, my life, I loved you
Capricious, capricious, capricious
Capricious, capricious, capricious
My life, I loved you, I loved you, I loved you

You would take it, you would take it, liar
You would take it, you would take it, pretentious
You would take it, you would take it, annoying
You would take it, you would take it, liar
Beloved of the soul, yes, oh, oh, oh
Beloved of the soul, yes, oh, oh, oh

Tiqui tiqui ti liar
Tiqui tiqui ti liar
My life, believing flattering
My life, seeing you so deceitful
Yes, oh, oh, oh
Yes, oh, oh, oh
My life, my life, I loved you
Capricious, capricious, capricious

Where are you, beloved one
That you don't hear my lament
Maybe you have forgotten
That you made a vow
Vow, vow, vow, yes, yes, yes

What happened to your word
Ungrateful ill-fated?
Why did I set my eyes
On such divided love, divided love, yes, yes, yes

So much that people told me
Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk has claws
And I, deaf, followed up the mountain
Sparrowhawk tore out my entrails
In the mountain I was left abandoned
The seven elements confuse me
Woe is me, woe is me, woe is me, woe is me
The birds are scared of my crying
My moans confuse the wind
Woe is me, woe is me, woe is me, woe is me

Gavi gavi gavi gavi lán ga
Gavi gavi gavi gavi lán ga
Gavi gavi gavi lán
Gavi gavi gavi lán
Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk, gavi

Here comes, here comes, here comes the sparrowhawk
Thunders are already sounding
I have nowhere to be
I have nowhere to be
I have nowhere to be

Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk, I'm dying, sparrowhawk
Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk, I'm dying, sparrowhawk
Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk, I'm dying, sparrowhawk, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much that people told me
Sparrowhawk, sparrowhawk has claws
And I, deaf, followed up the mountain
Sparrowhawk tore out my entrails
In the mountain I was left abandoned
The seven elements confuse me
Woe is me, woe is me, woe is me

Tiqui tiqui ti, tiqui tiqui ti, liar
Tiqui tiqui ti, tiqui tiqui ti, capricious
Tiqui tiqui ti, tiqui tiqui ti, liar
I have nowhere to be
