Gabdulla Tukay Birds
Foolish birds, let me staunch your fear, No need to panic while I’m standing near. I enjoy the language of these birds, Lord has made them sing without words. Sing your tunes, don’t fly away or run,...
Foolish birds, let me staunch your fear,
No need to panic while I’m standing near.
I enjoy the language of these birds,
Lord has made them sing without words.
Sing your tunes, don’t fly away or run,
I join you unarmed, I’ve no snare or gun.
In peace I come, without squabble or strife,
I pose no danger to freedom in your life.
Man can be a friend, if you’ll just believe,
After listening quietly, I promise you to leave.
