Letras de Green Finch and Linnet Bird

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate sitting in cages
Never taking wing?

Outside the sky waits beckoning
Beckoning, just beyond the bars
How can you remain staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars?

How is it you sing anything?
How is it you sing?

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody constantly flowing?
Is it rejoicing or merely hollowing?
Are you discussing or fussing
Or simply dreaming?

Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?

Green dove and robinet
Is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you discovered it′s safer in cages
Singing when you're told?

My cage has many rooms, damask and dark
Nothing there sings, not even my lark
Larks never will, you know, when they′re captive
Teach me to be more adaptive

Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale, blackbird
Teach me how to sing
If I cannot fly
Let me sing
