Flieg, Flamingo
Udo Jürgens
Fly, Flamingo
From the rainbow
Have you flown into my open heart
But that doesn’t hold you back
It remains open for you
Ruffle your feathers
Fly high up to the Sun again, skyward
Let yourself fall out of the nest
The habit of me
Flying is your life
And not the walk on the reins
You are devoted
The up and away of your wings
So fly flamingo
Lay yourself down in the clouds and the wind
In my arms and let yourself be rocked
Fly flamingo
Let me look up to you like a child
That surrenders to the dream of flying
No you can't be mine
You must return to the solitude of your freedom
Before my shadow becomes too big and cold for you
Flying is your life
If you've forgotten how to take off, learn how to do it again
Up to the peaks of the stars
Yes fly flamingo
Lay yourself down against the clouds and the wind
In my arms and let yourself be rocked
Fly flamingo, let me look up to you like a child
That surrenders to the dream of flying
