Florence + The Machine "Bird Song" testo

Bird Song

Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by.Saw what I'd done. He set up a nest outside,and he sang about what I'd become.He sang so loud, sang so clear.I was afraid all the neighbours would hear,So I invited him in, just to reason with him.I promised I wouldn't do it again.

But he sang louder and louder inside the house,And no I couldn't get him out.So I trapped him under a cardboard box.stood on it to make him stop.I picked up the bird and above the din I said"That's the last song you'll ever sing".Held him down, broke his neck,Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

But in my dreams began to creepthat old familiar tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout,I waved my arms and flapped about.But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,couldn't scream and I couldn't shout.

I opened my mouth to scream and shoutwaved my arms and flapped aboutBut I couldn't scream I couldn't shout,The song was coming from my mouth.From my mouth,From my mouth,From my mouth.

From my mouth,From my mouth,From my mouth,From my mouth.

From my mouth.From my mouth.From my mouth.From my mouth.

From my mouth,From my mouth,From my mouth,From my mouth.

Canto dell'Uccello

Beh, non l'ho raccontato a nessuno, ma passo` un uccello, e vide quello che avevo fatto. Costrui` un nido fuori, e si mise a cantare di quello che sono diventato. Cantava cosi` forte, cosi`puro. Avevo paura che lo sentissero tutti i vicini, allora lo invitai dentro, solo per ragionare con lui. Promisi di non farlo mai piu`.

Ma lui si mise a cantare piu` forte ancora dentro alla casa, e no, non riusci` a farlo uscire. Cosi` lo intrappolai sotto una scatola di cartone, mi ci misi sopra per farlo finire. Presi l'uccello e sorpassando di volume l'urlo dell'uccello, dissi, "Questo e` l'ultimo canto che canterai!" Lo posai, gli ruppi il collo, gli feci una lezione da non scordarsene.

Ma nei miei sogni inizio` ad entrarci quel vecchio cinguettio.

Mi aprii la bocca per urlare e gridare, fecevo cenni con le braccia e mi agitavo. Ma non potevo urlare e nemmeno gridare: quel canto usciva dalla bocca mia!!!
