Nightingale,
So pretty a tale...
But why put in a cage?
Passing by the pane,
I see her struggling every day...
Nightingale,
So pretty a tale...
Looks at me,
Then fights every rail...
Sometime beak,
Sometime wing,
Grazing them all...
But always,
Glancing the blue sky...
Tiny black pearls,
Shining the liquid light...
Nightingale,
So pretty a tale...
What’s stopping me,
To open the cage?
Is it my own fear?
Not to see you again?
But I can’t see you,
In so much pain...
Please open the cage-door!
Nightingale,
So pretty a tale...
‘Fly away pretty little!’
‘Fly away to the skies,
unknown!’
With puzzled eyes,
She looks...
‘To where...’
