They asked me "Why are you shouting??” Alas I couldn’t explain That I was trying to sing… Oh!!! Gift me a voice… Gift me a voice so sweet… That would turn my cries Into a charming song… I wish I were a cuckoo Hiding among the leaves And shouting loudly To have my heart light… And people would Take me to be singing And praise me For my hitherto sweetest song… Oh!!! Just gift me Just gift me a sweet voice…
