Ave Caida

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird.
Who stopped your flight,
when you were carrying a branch
in your beak through the blue sky?.
Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird.
Who stopped your flight?.

It was you and your brothers,
dressed as soldiers,
who don't want me to fly
and saw me flying.
It was you and your brothers
with a weapon and a helmet.
It was you and your brothers...
who have brought me down.

Tell me meadow without flowers,
Tell me meadow without flowers,
what has happened to your ground,
that it has no colors
butterflies or loves
and everything has died?.
Tell me meadow without flowers,
Tell me meadow without flowers,
what has happened to your ground?.

It was you and your brothers,
dressed as soldiers,
who trampled the flowers
and sowed shrapnel.

It was you and your brothers
with a weapon and a helmet,
who don't want more flowers
and have brought them down.

Tell me child who plays,
Tell me child who plays,
who gave you the toys;
those rubber bullets,
that fake gun,
the rifle and the rockets?.
Tell me child who plays,
Tell me child who plays,
Who gave you the toys?.

It was you and my brothers
dressed as civilians
who with these toys
filled my hands.
It was you and my brothers
who gave them to me
that, being toys,
they say they don't harm.

Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird..
Who stopped your flight,
when you were carrying a branch
in your beak through the blue sky?
Tell me fallen bird, tell me fallen bird.
Who stopped your flight?.
