Little Bird

Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed, flew away
Because the shot was fired but didn't hit
Little bird, tell me, then tell me:
Why wasn't I happy too?
Tell me what to do with this passion?
That devours my heart..
That devours my heart..
That mistreats my heart..
That mistreats my heart..

And the good bush, the fire burned
Where's the fire? The water put it out
And where's the water? The cow drank
Where's the love? The cat ate
And the ashes spread
And the rain washed away
Where's my love that the wind took away?
(Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed, flew away)

Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed, flew away
Because the shot wounded but didn't kill
Little bird, tell me, then tell me:
Why wasn't I happy too?
Where's my love, my song?
That cheered my heart..
That cheered my heart..
That illuminated my heart..
That illuminated the darkness..

Where's my path? The water took it
Where's my trace? The rain erased it
And my house? The river carried away
And my love abandoned me
Flew, flew, flew
Flew, flew, flew
And time passed and the wind took away

Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed, flew away
Because the shot wounded but didn't kill
Little bird, tell me then, tell me:
Why wasn't I happy too?
Where's my love, my song?
That cheered my heart..
That cheered my heart..
That illuminated my heart..
That illuminated the darkness..
And the morning light? The day burned it
Where's the day? It aged
And the afternoon fell and the sun died
And suddenly it got dark
And then the moon shone
Then disappeared into the darkness
And it got so cold that morning came
(Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed, flew away)
Little bird wanted to land, didn't succeed
Flew, flew, flew, flew, flew
