One fine day, or was it a night
Near a lake I had fallen asleep,
When suddenly, seeming to burst the sky
And coming from nowhere
A black eagle appeared
Slowly, with its wings spread
Slowly, I saw it circling
Near me, with a rustle of wings
As if it had fallen from the sky
The bird came to land
He had ruby eyes
And feathers of the colors of the night
On her brow shining with a thousand lights,
The crowned king bird
Wore a blue diamond
With his beak he touched my cheek
In my hand, he slipped his neck
That's when I recognized it
Out of the past
She had returned
Say, the bird, oh say, take me away,
Let's go back to the old country
Like before, in my childhood dreams
To pick, trembling, stars
Stars, stars, stars
Like before, in my childhood dreams
Like before, on a white cloud
Like before, lighting the sun
To be a rainmaker
And do wonders
The black eagle in a rustle of wings
Took flight to return to the sky
With his beak he touched my cheek
In my hand, he slipped his neck
That's when I recognized it
Out of the past
She had returned
