Two Wings Of A Bird

TWO WINGS OF A BIRD

Rise up, O Dear! rise up on this early spring morning

Get out of the dusty attic of mind, we need no silk so fine

Come fly on with me, breathe scent of the ocean and morning breeze

Live in harmony with nature, with bees, the timid fireflies

They smile at you. You smile at them, we are birds

We are two wings of a bird

We came together a thousand valleys afar

Journeyed the rough seas, walking till dawn on moonless nights

Amidst thunder, clouds, squeezing water from clay

Far, and far, we fly soaring high, we are birds

Feeble body, aching wings, veins dried

Preened with pearls and liquid gold

We are two wings of a bird

O Dear! tremble not for tomorrows rain

 We have a charming nest and straw to sleep

 And enough grain for winter freeze

Hoard not tight seed in greed, we are birds

Share more wheat with friends and foe

We are two wings of a bird

Let us stop a while by the tavern light

Breathe pure nature, chant a song and dance

Fret not for tomorrow, we are birds

Celebrate the moment with Midori wine

Calm O Dear! and the storm will pass

We are two wings of a bird
