Текст песни: Requiem + перевод

Well, I saw a bird today

Flying from a bush

And the wind blew it away;

And the black-eyed mother sun

Scorched the butterfly at play —

Velvet-veined;

I saw it burn

With a wintry storm-blown sigh

A silver cloud blew right on by;

And, taking in the morning, I sang

«O Requiem»

Well, my lady told me, «Stay.»

I looked aside and walked away

Along the strand

But I didn’t say a word

As the train time-table blurred

Close behind the taxi stand

Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window

Fading into the traffic; Watched her go;

And, taking in the morning, heard myself singing:

«O Requiem»

Here I go again;

It’s the same old story

Di-di-di

Well, I saw a bird today;

I looked aside and walked away

Along the strand
