lyrics

8. O, little bird (VERSE about a Pilgrim)

Oh, you poor little bird
My dear little bird
Why did you fly so early
Into these distant lands
Did a strong wind in a storm
Blow you to this place
Or did the separation from friends or relatives
Call you here
But your pain here is bitter
This land is not sweet to you
There is no freedom for you here
It is hard for you to live here
What grieves you, worries you
And gives such sorrow in your breast?
Who can pour a river of bitter tears
On your sufferings?
Why have you lowered your wings
Why do you not sing sweetly in spring?
Sad head bowed
You do not feed on anything
I fly to a faraway land
And there I hide from people
Beyond forests, seas and rivers
I dwell among the animals
