Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär

Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär,
Und auch zwei Flüglein hätt,
Flög ich zu dir
Weils aber nicht kann sein
Weils aber nicht kann sein,
Bleib ich allhier

Bin ich gleich weit von dir,
Bin ich doch im Traum bei dir
Und red mit dir.
Wenn ich erwachen tu,
Wenn ich erwachen tu,
Bin ich allein.

Es vergeht kein Stund in der Nacht,
Dass nicht mein Herz erwacht
Und an dich denkt,
Dass du mir viel Tausend mal,
Dass du mir viel Tausend mal,
Dein Herz geschenkt.

.en translation
If I Were a Little Bird

If I were a little bird
And had two little wings,
I’d fly to you.
But as it can’t be
But as it can’t be,
I always stay here.

I’m also far from you,
I’m by your side in dreams
And I talk to you.
When I wake up,
When I wake up,
I’m on my own.

There is no hour in the night,
In which my heart doesn’t wake up
And think of you,
That, more than a thousand times,
That, more than a thousand times,
You give your heart to me.

I’m A Little Wildflower

I’m a little wildflower
Growing wilder by the hour
Nobody cares to cultivate me
I’m a wild as wild can be

Next verse!
Same as the first!
A little bit louder
And a little bit worse!

Last verse,
Same as the first, a
A WHOLE lot louder
And a WHOLE lot worse!

When round the moon there is a brugh

When round the moon there is a brugh [halo],
The weather will be cold and rough.

We like March

by Emily Dickinson

We like March, his shoes are Purple.
He is new and high —
Makes he Mud for Dog and Peddler —
Makes he Forests Dry.

Knows the Adder’s Tongue his coming
And begets her spot —
Stands the Sun so close and mighty —
That our Minds are hot.

News is he of all the others —
Bold it were to die
With the Blue Birds buccaneering
On his British sky —

When I Grow Up

When I Grow Up by AL YANKOVIC

‘Weird Al’s’ Advice: Follow Your Muse To ‘Grow Up’

Or else maybe I’ll be the lathe operator
Who makes the hydraulic torque wrench calibrator
Which fine-tunes the wrench that’s specifically made
To retighten the nuts on the lateral blade
That’s directly beneath the main radial sockets
Inside cooling systems on X-14 rockets

When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano

Learner: Swallows on a Mission

When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That’s the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, “Farewell”, in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallow flew out to sea

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you’ll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That’s the day I pray that you’ll come back to
