In the forgotten forest
An ancient tree
With a branch like an arrow
I saw in front of me.
And on the branch a little flower
With a raindrop, like a tear
And a bluebird flying away
Into the deep.
The trees whispered this story
Right into the wind…
(Choruses)
“Away he flies”, thought the flower,
Sadly through her weep.
The only true love she ever felt
sailed away beyond the leaves.
The years they shared were so wonderful,
Since that magic day in May,
When the bluebird found the rare branch
And decided there to stay.
And his love for her, deep as the forest,
Made him leave aside his wings
To stay with her forever,
Forgetting all his other dreams.
His feathers covered her so deeply
She forgot to feel the sun.
Her weak colors faded sharply;
Then she knew what should be done:
“Bluebirds must fly,
here are your wings for you to reach the sky”,
She said crying, and he could sadly understand
That love would live, but this was goodbye.
Tears were falling, but the forest was bright,
Whispering this story of love that won’t die.
