Little sparrow

Little sparrow in my heart:

seems as if we soon will part.

Stay inside for some time more

though your flutters make me sore.

Little sparrow: chant your tune.

Seems as if you’re leaving soon.

Break my heart just one more day

for the girl that’s gone away.

Little sparrow: when you leave,

taking with you all I grieve,

take the ache within my chest.

Wait before you take the rest.

Leave me with the thought of her

long enough to feel it stir.

Little sparrow: then you may

take it all and fly away.
