[Intro]
Little bird that sang one serene morning
One serene morning
To some you give comfort while you increase my pain
While you increase my pain
[Chorus]
Why would you with such rigor
Abandon my love?
Why would you with such rigor
Abandon my love?
[Verse]
You will surely miss my shade when the sun tires you out
When the sun tires you out
You will surely miss my shade when the sun tires you out
When the sun tires you out
[Verse]
Little bird don't you remember that up there in the mountains
That up there in the mountains
When thirst had you hurried you drank from my tears
You drank from my tears
[Chorus]
What else do I owe you, what else?
Should've given you my tenderness
What else do I owe you, what else?
Should've given you my tenderness
[Outro]
Little bird who leaves the branch on which you once sang to never again return
Little bird who leaves the branch on which you sang to never again return
