THE BIRD IS A BIRD	LINTU ON LINTU

If I had clipped its wings,	Jos olisin leikannut siltä siivet,
it would have been mine,	se olisi ollut minun,
it would never have flown away.	eikä se olisi koskaan lentänyt pois.

If I had clipped its wings,	Jos olisin leikannut siltä siivet,
it would have been mine,	se olisi ollut minun,
it would never have flown away.	eikä se olisi koskaan lentänyt pois.

But this way	Mutta silloin
it would no longer have been a bird.	se ei olisi enää ollut lintu.
But this way	Mutta silloin
it would no longer have been a bird.	se ei olisi enää ollut lintu.

And I loved that bird.	Ja juuri sitä lintua minä rakastin.
And I loved that bird.	Ja juuri sitä lintua minä rakastin.
