1. You, little bird, sing
On the branches of my love

2. How did the singing die, but how
Did distance spread with my closeness

3. How did you roll the rocks of despair
Until my path was blocked

4. How can you be content with the loss of life
From one flock to another?

5. How can you distance yourself, when in distance
Is nothing but sorrow?

6. Comfort me, my little bird, I no longer
Have hope of gain

7. The anxious one travels his world
From worry to worry

8. So fill my world with song
And slay all fear

9. Wherever you fly you will find me
For my heart is your nest
