Birds of Paradise [French translation]

Who are you? Who am I?

Is it real do we touch the sky?

"Nothing's real - all disguise"

Said the birds of paradise.

I'm afraid, can't you see?

Tell me where do you carry me.

“You will soon realize”

Said the birds of paradise.

Flying home, flying home

To the land that you once have known

To the peace that once was true

For a little girl like you.

Flying home, flying home

From a world that is made of stone

Till your heart is light and free

Like it once was meant to be.

How can I go ahead

When my eyes are becoming wet?

"Save your tears - dry your eyes"

Said the birds of paradise.

But the time’s passing by

Say how long do we have to fly?

"Moon will set, sun will rise"

Said the birds of paradise.

Flying home, flying home

To the land that you once have known

To the peace that once was true

For a little girl like you.

(X2)

Flying home,flying home

From a world that is made of stone

Till your heart is light and free

Like it once was meant to be.

Hear the sound, see the light

Now I know that our way was right

Morning sun can make you wise

Said the birds of paradise.

Birds of paradise.
