Shei je Holud Pakhi (O! that Yellow Bird)

Hurt, a wing broken
It landed at my door.
I took it in

I caressed and cared,
I brought it in
Into my life and heart

It became my everything,
My life, my soul, my sustenance.
But, on another day

It disappeared, it left
It flew away.
I wept, I cried, I stood alone

Alone again, as I imagined
It looking down on me
With laughter and scorn.

The laugh resonated throughout,
It tortured and tore
My heart into shreds,
My life it broke.

With tearful eyes I looked up
It was laughing, laughing aloud
And flying,
Flying further and further away.
