1-
What saddens me
is to see a nightingale
with a broken wing
and a wounded throat
and what saddens me even more
is to see children
on the streets
of this world
hungry
2-
Chase away the jackals
the foxes and the wolves
hang a bell
around the neck of the gentle lamb
and slip into the sanctuary of your soul
to listen intently
to the song of a canary
3-
Open the chambers of your heart
to the light of the sun
so that it may cleanse them
and close the door of your soul
against the wasps and the insects
of memories
